Chapter Five: Doomsday Madness (Part Two)
Sterilized tweezers, needles, thread, gauze pads, and bandages are what Vino needs right now. There happens to be a place nearby where all of those supplies are available. I'm talking about Weston's, an all-around drug store owned by Shae's father.
We may reach it within ten minutes. I just need bigger thighs, longer legs, and a lot of stamina to reach it faster because I can't anymore! How foolish can I be to think that I could carry him in a fireman's style?
It's only been two minutes! With Vino and my backpack slinging on my back, all I can think about is crashing in bed.
"Zom ... bie," he warned.
I shifted my whole body. Although it was dark, I could see Vino was right. There's a creep a few feet away from us. I

Nakaupo ako sa lilim ng malaking puno. Magaan sa pakiramdam ang simoy ng hangin. Pakiramdam ko'y para akong dahon na dinadala sa himpapawid."Peace is always beautiful isn't it?" Napawi ang panandaliang ginhawa nang marinig ko ang boses niya."You're here . . ." Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong pinagmasdan ang lalaking nakasandal sa puno. "Kuya, is that really you?""Ngayon mo na lang ulit akong tinawag niyan." Sumilay ang mapaglaro niyang ngiti at umayos sa pagkakaupo.Nanginginig ang buong kalamnan ko. "Bakit mo iyon ginawa?" Pumiyok ang boses ko kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin.Mahina siyang tumawa. "Kailanman hindi ko sisirain ang mga binitawan kong pangako saiyo no
Killing Lies (English-Tagalog) Chapter Six: Red Revenge (Part One)
Darkness — a hollow blank space that has nothing much to offer. Just like an emptiness that keeps further and further as the universe keeps expanding forever. They say the never-ending darkness gives terror in our lives, but with just one light all of it will be gone and I was right! At the end of darkness, there would always be lighting waiting for us to discover. A blinding white light as if it’s smiling at you, ready to swallow you. Spiralling shivers travel across my body. What am I even doing here? Am I dead? Did I become one of them?I look up at the light and witness how it turns fiery. The familiar smell of burned flesh lingers in the void. The hot atmosphere makes me sweat and lose my breath too, convincing myself that I am really dead and I’m finally in my hellish afterlife.But a voice echoes, telling me to wake up. Not long after that, I regained consciousness. There I find myself in the midst of leaping flames that burn like a tempe

The ambulance hastened up with a bold force, letting everyone know its siren wasn't a polite request to move. Every head turned, following its red and blue streak. It's a pity they are in the rain-washed town of Oaken Ridge. No one here gives a single damn about melancholia, especially during the annual feast. The speed of our car slowed down when it turned in another direction. The rocky grounds of the parking lot show that I finally arrived at my destination. Vino clears his throat as he stops the engine. Our eyes met when I glanced at the rear-view mirror. "Janice," tawag niya sa akin. Napairap ako ng mata bago ko tanggalin ang suot kong shades at madiin itong isinara. Para siyang nayuping lata nang lumingon siya sa akin. Ngayon niya lang siguro napansin ang kamaliang sinabi niya. Bago pa siya makapagsalita ulit, hinagis ko sa kan'ya ang mamahalin kong shades. Ngumiwi siya nang tumama ito sa kan'yang pango na ilong. "The next time I'll hear that name,

A piercing sound echoed in the field. Our attention diverts to the front. In the middle of the stage, a middle-aged woman stands while holding a mic. Based on her corporate attire, she looks like an office worker or a secretary of a company. It’s not that I am interested in her outfit, though, but there's blood soiled all over her freaking clothes! "Nandiyan sila . . . nandiyan na sila!" Blood spurts out of her mouth when she utters a loud cry. Her whole disheveled self is wobbling in fear. Nagtilian ang mga babaeng natalsikan ng dugo malapit sa harapan ng stage. Nagsimula nang lumakas ang mga bulungan ng tao. "Nandiyan na sila!" pag-uulit niya pa sa sinabi niyang may pagbabantang tono. Sinong sila?Hinanap ng paningin ko ang mga pulis. Dahan-dahan silang pumunta sa stage habang nakahanda ang kanilang mga baril. This is bad ... we need to get out of here pronto! But the other girls are missing except for Trixie. I don’t know what else to do, so I pulled her. A

Tinapat ko ang ilaw sa likuran. Isang pares ng mga paa ang biglang lumabas mula sa kabilang kwarto. Napaangat ako ng tingin at nakita ang kanyang namumutlang mukha. May bahid ng dugo ang kanyang bibig at may hawak siyang duguang karne sa kamay. Tumayo ako at humakbang palayo sa kan'ya. Napakapit ako sa sling bag na dala ko at kinuha ang lipstick taser. Nagkatinginan kami, mata sa mata. Nangilabot ako sa takot nang mapansing purong puti lamang ito na pinapalibutan ng nangingitim na mga ugat. Bigla siyang sumungab sa akin kaya agad ko siyang ginamitan ng tinatago kong taser. Akala ko gagana, pero parang wala man lang nangyari sa kan'ya. Tinulak ko siya at lumabas sa haunted house na iyon. Naramdaman ko ang mga mabibigat at mabilis niyang hakbang na papalapit sa akin. Napatili ako, nanghihingi ng tulong sa mga nakabanggaan ko, pero nagbingi-bingihan ulit sila at mas piniling tumakbo palayo sa akin. Binuksan ko ang phone para tawagan sana si Vino, ngunit huli na ang lahat na

Fear and desperation could lead us to do some stupid things. Every time I bumped into someone, they were not in their right minds to think. It’s either they push you or hurt you. Help is just too hard to find in times of catastrophe, so when Caite appeared in front of me and hugged her, oh, I fucking regret that. My emotions carried me away that I even forgot my hatred for her. Humiwalay na ako sa pagkakayakap. Hindi ko siya matingnan ng maayos at nauutal na nagpasalamat. Come on, me and my girls loved to taunt her for petty and vengeful reasons. I did so many horrible things to her, yet she still saved me. Of course, this is the most awkward thing ever! Napahawak siya ng batok at nahihiyang ngumiti. Kinuha ko na ang phone ko sa lapag para makaiwas lang ng tingin. Tinagalan ko talaga bago ko iyon tinago sa bag. Mabuti na lang at umiwas na rin pala siya ng tingin. Kung hindi magkakatinginan na naman kami na parang mga timang. Makakahinga na

There is a long silence between the three of us. "Your claims are hard to believe. How could you - " Bago ko pa matapos ang sasabihin ko, nilabas niya ang phone niya at pinakita sa akin ang video. Low-angle shot iyon kaya kitang-kita ang lahat. Sa tingin ko nasa pinakatuktok siya ng ferris wheel nang magsimula siyang mag record ng video. Rinig sa video ang malakas na patugtog mula sa baba at ang mga hiyawan ng mga tao. Kung sa normal na okasyon, aakalain ng iba na masasayang hiyaw lamang ito ng mga excited na tao pero ang totoo niyan naghihiyawan na sila dahil sa takot. Nandito rin ako at hindi ko inakalang nagmumukha na pala kaming mga langgam na nagtutulakan at takbuhan sa iba't ibang direksyon kanina. Nag-zoom in ang video sa stage. Inagaw ko ang phone sa kaniya at napatutok lalo dahil nakita ko na naman 'yung babaeng mukhang office worker na nagbigay ng babala kanina. Nangingisay siya sa platform kaya lalong na-stress ang mga kapulisang nakapalibo

So I convinced them to go to our house first before meeting up with Papa. I don’t want to risk myself getting infected and passing it onto others by having these sticky blood splattered all over my body. All the lights are lit off when we enter the gate. Hindi ako sanay na ganito kadilim dito kaya napalunok ako ng laway pagkapasok ko mismo sa loob ng bahay. Our helpers must have evacuated, just like the rest of our neighbors. They should be because if not, that only means they’re dead or in danger. Hindi na ako nagpatumpik-tumpik pang tumakbo papunta sa second floor kung nasaan ang kwarto ko. Kumuha lang ako ng dalawang set ng maluluwag at komportableng t-shirt at jogging pants para sa amin ni Caite. Kumuha na rin ako ng dalawang hoodie, incase lang na hindi pala kasya sa kaniya ang mga damit na pinili ko. Siniksik ko lahat ng iyon sa nag-iisa kong backpack. Wala pa ata sa limang minuto nang lumabas ako ng bahay bitbit iyon at pumasok sa kotse. Isa-isa rin na
