The original Interviewer in Bien’s mind has always been his Uncle Reuben. He knew that he was partly named after the man and that they were similar in a lot of ways. They also had a lot of interests that were very much alike, even with their tastes in women…Dark-haired, intelligent, courageous, sassy… women-warrior types. Except that, for Rube he didn’t care much about age, and he did. After all, he looked up to his parents’ relationship where his mom is almost ten years older than his dad. One thing for sure though, they were both the kind of men that once they’ve made up their mind on who to love, and It will take near forever for them to change their minds.Hero was lucky that he never really fallen hard and fast for anyone within the first decades of his life. Sure there were a number of women he got attracted to and much more got hooked by his good looks, muscular body, charming personality and a huge inheritance but nothing really clicked.At least to him, it didn’t.Sure his m

The Fashion Designer, AKA Mariposa, who originally was known as a man, is probably the most infamous unfamous member of the whole higher management staff at the Resort Midnight’s main branch. To the chagrin of her competition, her/his reputation precedes him. Though many still raise their supercilious fashion senses whenever she enters a room or an event, no one can exactly ignore the fashion expert’s presence or input. And now, she is being asked to create a special gown for a very unique somebody who’s the recent addition to the team. Of course, she would most likely be completing everyone else’s ensemble for the Resort’s exclusive annual anniversary soiree BUT this latest evening dress request was the highlight of her fashion career to date. ”Where on earth are those glitterrrryyyy tulle that I’ve reserved from our Milan trip last month Galatea? Please, don’t tell them they got squashed under the sssssilks and sssssatins in our ssssalon’s ssssecret sssstorage sssspace?””So sorry

It was already late in the evening before the Trinity was done discussing Hero’s chosen but secret lady love. By the time Don Antonio Agpalza was finished with his last statement, his listeners have already been silent for more than just a couple of hours.And everyone stayed stoically staring down at the floor or out of the window for the next quarter of an hour as well.”So… do you mind if I have a shot, gents?”Both elderly men look at the middle-aged one motioning to a newly delivered bottle of Scotch along with three crystal glasses and even a small decanter of ice. All of these on top of an antique and elegant silver tray. The Detective and the Major nods.Rube takes the whole Scotch, unscrews the cap, and drinks a quarter of the bottle's contents in one long swig...“Yeah, that’s the shit!” he growls after his “shot” finished within a quarter of a minute. He inhales deeply then faces his silent audience with bewilderment and something close to fear written on his face… Then unl

Another day, another dollar. I hate to say it, but it hasn’t been the same since the day of that meeting with Deans. It’s almost like people see me differently now. And Bi… Hero too. Damn that Professor Tan. I can’t say I’m sorry about what happened to him. For all this, I truly believe he deserved that. Professor Lyra Semana is sitting silently at the front of a now empty classroom. She just ended her class but, unlike before where some of her students would still be hanging out inside the room to talk with her, everyone has hurriedly left with hardly a word.  Now I can't even find it in myself to file a case against Johnny, that ass! If I do, I

It was merely a year ago…It was midnight in a not so quiet neighborhood, as there were numerous people outside their houses. They have been awoken by the racket of a huge tragedy that's happening within their high-end suburban residential area.The house that was burning was not in any way small or simple. It was actually one of the largest and most expensive residences within the whole Class A housing compound.And unfortunately for the family living inside the house, only one of them had managed to escape the burning inferno unscathed. This is thanks to her not fully asleep yet when the thick black smoke engulfed the whole house."I found her Mateo! *cough, cough* Ma'am, come with me, hurry!""Wait, Lilian, where are my... *cough, cough*... Dad and Mom... *cough*""Mateo will find them, Miss Lyra! Please, let us get out...*cough*... now...""There's the door... *cough, cough* I can see the light!""Ladies... here, let me bring you out..."The fireman had a large anti flammable blank
