A Scanner Darkly Novels & Stories

GABBIE I ROAM MY eyes around Wyatt's house. Malinis pero ang lungkot ng kulay. His wall was painted black and gray. So manly. His curtain is dark brown. Everything is dark. Wala na ba siyang ibang color na alam? Tsk... I can't stand looking around because of the dark ambiance of his house. Ang lungkot, like him na mukhang iniwan ng asawa't anak. I was just following him while roaming my eyes on his place. I mentally grinned. Madami akong gustong baguhin especially now that I'm staying here. I don't like dark walls and curtains. I want something light and of course my favorite cartoon character... Stitch!

Ang table center naman doon ay purong glass, kahit ang pinakang table nito aypurong glass. Nakatalikod sa kanila ang big boss habang nakaupo sa swivel chair.

Iyon agad ang unang word na pumasok sa utak ko. Kung gaano ka dilapidated at nondescript ang gusali sa labas siya namang garbo ntio sa loob. A crimson carpet greets my sneakers and a modern painting hangs in the middle of the wall. A dazzling large chandelier was the star of the space. Sa isang panig may tila booth kung saan may isang magandang babaeng tila hotel receptionist ang nakangiti sa mga parokyano. "Scanner." Untag ng isang lalakeng noon ko lang napansin. He's talk and stoic. One of the guards.
