Sopdrenks ni Alea Jen Villahermosa

Laklak at mga halakhak. Pumunta sa Bi-es hotel. Pag-akyat sa ika-labing isang pal� apag, Naramdaman ang simoy ng hanging mapagpanggap. Ikot-ikot; puno ng takot! Bakit? Tumawa. Ano? Boses na hindi na madinig; Balat na hindi makadama. Parang nasa isang kulungan; Wala akong maintindihan. Mabangis na leon Nakapaligid at uhaw na uhaw. Batang napakaganda Parang tinadyakan ng kabayo. Mundo ay gumuho, Mga pangarap unti-unting nanlabo. Napakagulo. Nakakalito. Ayaw na manatili Sa baliw na mundo.

Woe-some by Akii

I have once died. Those people who told me they'll stay, left. Those dreams I had for myself are gone. I wasn't murdered Nor did I commit suicide. I have once died while still breathing. Haven't we all?
