《The Platinum Tales #TheWattys2018》Ikasampung Kulog
Advertisement
"Ikasampu. Paalam na..."
-Thunder
Sampung araw at gabi na araw-araw ay kumukulog. Kumukulog ng mga damdamin na hindi ko na kaya ang ingay.
Bago dumating ang daluyong sa aking tahanan, walang ginawa kundi maging masaya. Ang daluyong ay rumagasa at ang kidlat ang naging kasangga.
Kidlat ang umaruga kahit ang kaniyang irog ay umiiyak. Ang unang kulog ay napuno ng tawanan at agad ring napalitan ng kapighatian. Kumulog sa aking tahanan, nawasak ang aking puso.
Sa pangalawang kulog, ika'y nalulumbay. Lumipas ang pangatlo, pang-apat at panlima na kulog na inaalo ka.
Ang pang-anim at pang-pitong kulog ay walang ipinagkaiba. Nagpangiti at patuloy na nagpapaluha sa loob ng aking tahanan.
Pang-walo. Lumabas ako ng bahay at hinanap mo ako. Pagbalik ko ang aking kidlat ay lumayas sa kanyang kanlungan. At sa pang-siyam na kidlat, sinabi mo ay mahal kita habang layo ang tingin sakin, boses ay kaya hamakin, damdamin ay wala sa akin. Iba pala ang sinabihan.
Sa pagdating ng ikasampung kulog,
"Aking kidlat, maaabot ba kita para yakapin?"

Collective Thinking
Dyna Graves grew up thinking she was special. An exception to the average. Not necessarily above her peers, but simply outside their context. However, toward the end of her high school life, she started to realize that nobody was really special. At least not in any fantastical way. Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation. A psychic institute scoped her out, realized her psychic potential, and asked if she would undergo psionic training at the Carroll Institute. Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye. After an explosive incident during what should have been a routine experiment, Dyna quickly found herself wrapped up in a world of cutthroat espionage. The story can also be viewed on my website, https://www.towercurator.com/collective-thinking/. Cover art by Zoern.
