Buwan ng Disyembre, ang bapor Tabo na naghahatid ng mga sakay sa Laguna ay mabagal na umuusad sa mabilis na agos ng tubig ng ilog Pasig. Sakay nito ang lahat ng uri ng tao sa lipunan. Makikita sa bapor ang hindi pantay na pagtingin sa mga mamamayan. Sapagkat ito ay nahahati sa dalawang bahagi-- ang ilalim at ang ibabaw. Ang mga mahihirap ay nasa ibaba ng kubyerta, kung saan makikita rito ang mga Indio, mga Tsino at mga Mestizo na pawisang nagsisiksikan kasama ang mga baul at kalakal samantala ang mga mayayaman naman ang nasa kubyerta kung saan makikitang prenteng nakupo ang ilang prayle at iba pang may sinasabi sa lipunan.
Jusko! Ang kupad kupad ng takbo ng bapor na ito!
(reklamo ng donya habang ikinukumpas ang kayang abaniko. Matapos niya rin itong sabihin ay lumapit siya sa kapitan at sinabing...)
Buenos dias a todos ustedes! Kalahati lamang ang takbo ng makina, Kapitan. Bakit hindi tulinan nang husto ang takbo nito?
Marahil kapag bumilis pa'y masasadsad na tayo sa malawak na bukirin na iyon, Ginang
Hay nako! Iyang mga nagdaraang kasko at mga indiong naliligo at naglalaba ay nakasisira lamang ng kagandan ng paligid. Mabibilisan sana ang takbo ng bapor tabo kung walang mga indio na nasa pampang o sa ano pang bahagi ng daigdig! Mga basura lamang sila na kakalat-kalat sa daan!
(Tinig iyon ng donya habang kinukumpas ang kanyang abaniko ng tila walang pumapansin sa kanya at nagdadaldalan lang ibang kasamahan sa mga kasamahan maliban sa kanya ay natigil sa pag-imik at nanahimik sa isang tabi)
(Nakahawak ang isang kamay sa kanyang baba; tila nag-iisip) Mga ginoo at donya naisip ko lamang na mas kailangan nating bigyang pagpapahalaga ang pag-aaral ang siyensya dahil kapag walang mga ekspertong syenista, wala tayong pag-unlad kaya kailangang 'yong pag-aralan ng mga tao rito!

Matigil ka Ben Zayb! Karanasan lamang ang kailangan upang mapaganda ang Ilog Pasig. Kaya hindi na dapat mag-aral ng siyensya!
: (Napailing) Hindi. Matalinong pag-iisip ang kailangan. Dapat mong isipin na malaking suliranin ang liku-liko at mabuhangin na Ilog Pasig.
(Bago pa man may makapag salita sa isa sa mga grupo ay sumulpot na lang bigla si Simoun)
Ang lunas ay napaka dali, hindi ko nga lang mawari kung bakit walang sinuman ang nakaisip nito.
(Napatingin ang grupo kay Simoun na tila'y nagtataka. Tumuro si Simoun sa Isang dako at sinundan naman ng tingin ng mga kasama kung saan nakaturo si Simoun )
Ano naman ang nais mong ipahiwatig ginoo? (pataray na tanong habang nakataas ang kanyang isang kilay, kasabay ang pagkumpas sa kanyang abaniko)
(Sumilay sa mukha nito ang isang ngisi) Dapat lamang humukay ng isang malalim na kanal mula sa bunganga ng ilog Pasig hanggang sa labasan na maglalagos sa Maynila, at ang lupang mahuhukay ay itatabon sa dating ilog. Kapag nagawa ito, tiyak na mapapaikli ang paglalakbay. Napaka simple hindi ba? (Nakangiting pahayag ni Simoun ngunit tila hindi sang-ayon sa kanya ang mga kasama)
Ngunit saan ka kukuha ng salaping gagastahin sa mga manggagawa?
Walang magugugol, Don Custodio, pagka't mga bilanggo ang gagawa
Walang sapat na bilanggo!
Kung gayo'y piliting gumawa ang mamamayan. bata man o matanda!
Kaguluhan lamang ang ibubuga niyan!
(tatalikod) Mga kaguluhan? Ha! Ha! Nag-alsa na ba kahit minsan ang bayang Ehipto?
Nag-alsa na ba ang mga bilanggong Hudeo laban sa banal na Tito? Tao kayo, akala ko'y lalo kayong nakauunawa sa kasaysayan!
Ngunit, hindi taga-Ehipto, ni Hudyo ang iyong kaharap! At ang mga Pilipino ay hindi miniminsang naghimagsok, kung hindi dahil sa mga pari..
Ang mga panahong yaon ay nakalipas na. Hindi na muling maghihimagsik ang bansang ito. Dagsaan man nila ang mga gawain at patawan man ng higit na mataas na buwis.

(Walang nag-imik sa grupo tila lahat ay pnagiisipan ang mga sinabi ni Simoun)
Kung wala na kayong maisip na solusyon sa problemang ito ay maari niyo namang pag-isipan ng mabuti ang aking suwesyon, wala rin namang mawawala kung susubukan ito hindi ba? (Mapapangiti ng bahagya si Simoun dahilan upang magkatinginan ang lahat na animo'y nag-uusap sila sa kanilang mga isip...) Sana'y pag-isipan niyo ng mabuti kung ano ang tama, mauna na ako sa inyo mga ginoo at donya.
(Nang makaalis na si Simoun)
Isang mulatong Amerikano!
Indiong Ingles!

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
