Simoun, Basilio, Sisa, Dalawang lalaki
Nagtungo si Basilio sa libingan ng mga Ibarra upang dalawin ang kaniyang ina. Doon ay nagunita niya ang maraming karanasan na nagdaan sa kaniyang buhay.
Matagal na rin ang huling punta ko rito. Naaalala ko pa rin ang mga pangyayari, sariwa pa ang lahat sa aking isip. Parang kailan lang ang mga sakit na sinapi ko.
Ano iyon?! Si ginoong Simoun! Ngunit ano ang ginagawa niya dito sa libingan ng aking ina?
(Nakita niya si Simou na naghuhukay nang kung ano at may katabing isang malaking kahon.
Isang pagbabalik tanaw ang nangyare kay Basilio: Sa paghabol niya sa kanyang ina noon, may labintatlong taon na ang nakalipas, isang lalaking duguan at di niya kilalang lalaki.
(ipinasyang magpakita kay Simpun) Maari ko po ba kayong matulungan, ginoo?
(Gulat na liningon si Simoun ang tinig at may kung anong huhugutin sa bulsa) Anong ginagawa mo sa gubat na ito?
Kung naaalala niyo pa, sa mismong pook ding ito tayo nagkita, may labing tatlong taon na ang nakakaraan. Kayo po ang naghandog sa akin ng isang pakikiramay-
(kinasa at itinutok ni Simoun ang rebolber kay Basilio)
At sa palagay mo'y sino ako? (Humakbang ito ng pasulong at aatras naman si Basilio)
Isang taong ipinalalagay kong napakadakila. Kayo po si Crisostomo Ibarra na sa pagkakaalam ng lahat ay patay na at ang tinamong kasawian ay labis kong ipinagdaramdam.
Isang nakamamatay na lihim ang iyong nalaman. Isang lihim na maari mong ikapahamak. Hindi mo ba naisip na dahil dito ay maari kang masawi sa aking palad? Ang pagbunyag ng aking tunay na pagkatao ang sisira sa mga plano ko! At hindi ko hahayaan na mapunta na lang sa wala ang mga plinano ko!
Kung gayon ay nagkamali pala ako ng pagkakakilala sa inyo
totoong ako'y naparito may labing tatlong tao na ang nakaraan, upang dakilain ang isang kaibigan na inilaan ang buhay para ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga Pilipino laban sa mga mapang-api. At ngayo'y nagbalik ako upang ipagpatuloy ang kaniyang nasimulan. Hindi ko akalaing ang lason na naiwan ay lubusan ng kumalat sa lipunan! At ang mga kabataan! Wala ng ginawa kundi sumunod! Magpa-alipin! Hindi pinapakinggan!

hindi ginoong Simoun! Kung hindi dahil sa pag-aaral ng mga kabataan ng wikang Kastila ay hindi tayo pakikinggan ng pamahalaan. At ang wikang ito ang magbubuklod ng tuluyan sa mga Pilipino.
Isang pagkakamali! Kailan ma'y hindi ito magiging wikang pambansa! Aanhin natin ang wikang ito? Itatago lamang ng huwad na wikang ito ang ating mga karapatan! Ang ating mga pagkatao!
Ginoong Simoun, mali kayo ng iniisip!
At ano?! Anong mapapala mo kung ikaw ay makakapagtapos? Makikita mo bang malaya ang iyong bayan? Makikita mo bang masaya ang mga tao? Hahayaan mo nalang bang mabulok ang bangkay ng iyong ina at kapatid sa ilalim ng lupa na tinatakpan ng mga taong siya mismong pumatay sa kanila?
Ano ang nais ninyong gawin ko Ginoong Simoun?! Kaya ko ba silang ipaglaban gayong ako mismo ay wala! Isa lamang akong hamak na estudyante, wala sa buhay! Hindi maaring hukayin ang aking ina at iharap sa hukuman ang kanyang bangkay at pagkatapoos ay mangbintang nang kung sino-sinong kastila!
Ngayong nalaman mo ang isang lihim na kung mabubunyag ay ikakasawi ko. Ngayon, buong buhay ko ay nasa kamay mo. Basilio, tayo ay nabibilang sa mga taong uhaw sa katwiran. Tulungan mo akong pabagsakin ang pamahalaan!
Pag-iisipan ko muna ginoong Simoun.
(umalis na si Basilio habang si Simoun ay nanatili sa kanyang kinatatayuan tinatanaw si Basilio sa kanayang pag-alis)
(kausap ang sarili) Tama kaya ang aking ginawa? Bahala na! Mamamatay ang mahihina at matitira ang mga malalakas! Kaunting pagtitiis na lang, malapit na akong magtagumpay. Kaunting tiis na lang...

Sky Sight
A city of the future. That's what they called Agona; the isolated experiment, built for efficiency and technological integration from the ground up. Cameras and microphones are everywhere, super computers buried beneath the city serve as processors to judge the actions of everyone living within it, dealing out real life karma. For years, peace reigns. The city is the envy of many, a place of prosperity and wealth. Then a number of trains malfunction, being routed through the city's blue external barrier, and the game begins. Gaining positive karma no longer gives discounts on goods, it gives otherworldly abilities, supernatural powers. But gaining negative karma gives those same abilities as well. The barrier surrounding the city becomes charged, turning anyone who wishes to leave into a pile of ash. Forced into the seemingly impossible game of good and evil, the new residents of the city must decide which side they're on or remain helpless.

The Vagabond King
World peace isn’t as great as most thought it’d be. On the continent of Moravia, eight empires have united humanity into a coalition of kingdoms that killed the world’s gods and have sworn to uphold peace amongst mortals. But sorcerers prevail among the ruling class and the only way to subvert power is through duels and tournaments, which common people can never hope to win. Even the right to create an independent nation is locked behind a tournament. Mattiew and Adriana Nikoliades try their best to live a settled life as a former pirate and a runaway heiress. But despite their efforts, Adriana’s father inflicted his daughter with a debilitating curse that would end in her death. He threatens Mattiew to fight on his behalf against the world’s most powerful sorcerers and nobles in the Bellirex, a tournament that acts as the world’s pathway to kingship. But as a man without a drop of sorcerous blood, Mattiew has to get old partners in crime on board with a near-blasphemous lie. The young couple have to decide to either save themselves and hand a corrupt noble more power or stick to their principles and try to overthrow one of the most entrenched noble houses in the world. All before Mattiew gets turned to ash by the Sunkiller, a favorite to win the Bellirex, or Adriana's parents catch on to her conspiracy. New chapter everyday at midnight EST.

Who Fixes Books Anyway?
On the pretense of a raise, the relatively new employee Pernie is called in to talk with her superiors. NOTE: This is a short story written for a class I took recently. As a result of deadlines, it does not possess the quality (or length) that I would like and is rather thrunkated. Perhaps sometime far in the furture I'll fix it up. For now, I have much more important things to work on, such as my other fiction.
