Philip Larkin Poem This Be The Verse

Empty vessels make the most noise, and men who fit that description to a tee hardly make for suitable partners. When Corinne had to go on a blind date with someone like that, she did the unthinkable simply to show her disinterest in him—she kissed a handsome older man whom she had never met before.

Si Kassandra Celestine Gomez o mas kilala bilang Cassie ay isang dalagang puno ng pangarap. Hindi man nila natitikman ang karangyaan ng buhay, busog na busog naman siya sa pagmamahal at magandang asal na itinuturo palagi sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga magulang. Walang ibang ginawa si Andra kundi ang mag-aral at magtrabaho upang makatulong sa kaniyang pamilya. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na ha hindi inaasahan ni Cassie na magbabago sa buhay niya.

The chemicals from those research facilities had seeped into our water supply and slowly manipulated our DNA. Last year was the first report of someone showing a hint of supernatural abilities. Then another and another until suddenly, there were people with abilities popping up all over the place. People with abilities were either feared or envied. I have tried hiding my ability for as long as I can. My ability would have me locked up and used until there was nothing left of me. The ability to heal is a gift everyone would want to take advantage of, so I never use it…ever. Until... I meet him. Julian. My schoolmate. The boss of The Hell Club. The Mafia King. My...mate. What we didn't know at the time was that these so-called DNA alterations were all werewolf genes growing inside the human body. And he, Julian... is my mate.
