“So have you gotten a job yet?”

“A job?”

“Yes!”

“But Mr Johnson at church says that girls are not supposed to have jobs!”

“I don’t care about that. You’re eating here, you’re sleeping here, you need to help with the bills. Ask your dad how to get one, they always need new people at the fastfood place!”

Even on occasions when our house is not quite as full, our lovely dining nook is getting a little crowded! Madison often invites her friend Donna Bell over to play after school, and while David and I can’t quite condone their friendship, who else is Madison supposed to play with? Donna is the only girl her age in the neighborhood!

It was just about closing time when a weird glowing lady came to our clinic. I was really worried about her! If she was glowing she needed to go to an actual hospital! Not just some run of the mill clinic. I started asking the basic questions. What seems to be wrong. How long have you had these symptoms. The regular stuff. The glowing lady just laughed at me and said she has been glowing all her light. She then walked away from me and pointed something at me and then I started glowing to. 

Robin- “What the hell is this? WHAT DID YOU DO?!”

Glowing Lady- “I’m showing you the way of the light. Welcome young one.”

This story has a history of false start.

It's the hope I can't get rid of. The hope that sets me up for a thousand new falls. It may be the hope that keeps me going. But it's the hope that will kill me in the end.

Eros Altair

Eros stood still rooted as he watched her lifeless body lying on the ground.

Minsan iniisip niya, kung hindi siya nakilala ni Astrid, hindi mangyayari ang lahat ng ito. 

If he only followed his destiny, she would have been happy along with the company that suits her best; he could have been happy. 

Happy? Eros knew that was a lie. His whole life would have been a lie. He never before had a sure sense of his life beginning again as he did that day he met Astrid.

"Excuse me, dito po ba 'yong pa-18th floor?" 

Astrid is terrible with directions. She will always, for some reason, lose her way and just like before, for a reason, he will always be the one to find her.

"Astrid.."

He almost pulled her close to him and wrapped her in a long embrace to say how much he longed for this moment. 

He wanted to get on his knees and beg her to tell him how they could put an end to this misery.

But he knows he has no right, he put her into this.

"Uh… ito po ba..?" 

He almost choked as he answered her. 

"Can we have lunch together? I have a lot of things to ask you."

Their whole life flashed before him the moment he looked into her eyes.

How they met; how they loved and fought for it only to be badly defeated.

How she's back only to be taken away from him again.

How this endless cycle is a reminder to him of the brutal fact that the only thing that might end this is something that he cannot ever get - his death.

So Eros did something he has never done before– built a huge wall between them. 

Pero may nakalimutan yata si Eros. This is Astrid we are talking about. Marami nang version ni Astrid ang nakilala niya pero may iisa silang pagkakapareho - Astrid is incredibly stubborn and determined.

Undaunted as she is, Astrid climbed and broke the fucking wall. 

Little did she know that breaking that wall would also break her. 

"Astrid.."

He called for her name, pleading to the Gods he didn't believe in. 

"P-Please.."

His trembling hand reached for hers but stopped midway. 

He shouldn't have taken her hand that day. 

He should've built more walls, thousands at that, so she'll run out of patience and strength to climb and break it. 

No. 

He should've ran away that day at the lift for the 18th floor.
