Bless the Broken Road (Part 3)
Rinig ko ang ganda ng huni ng mga ibon sa kalangitan.
Nandito ako ngayon sa park na malapit lang sa bahay namin. Nakasubsob ako sa aking mga tuhod habang walang tigil na umiiyak.
Questions were running all over my mind.
Bakit pa siya bumalik?
Bakit kailangan kong masaktan ng todo?
Bakit ang hina ko?
Napapadyak na lamang ako sa damuhan. Mababaliw na ako.
"Why are you crying, ate?" napa-angat ako ng tingin ng may marinig akong boses ng batang babae sa aking harap. Naka-puti itong dress habang may hawak na mabukadkad na sunflower.
"It's nothing, little girl." sabi ko sa kanya pero kumunot lamang ang noo niya.
"Nothing lang po? Eh, wala naman pong nakakaiyak sa wala, ah?" sabi 'nung bata kaya mahina akong humalakhak.
Ginulo ko ang buhok niya at bigla siyang ngumuso. Humalakhak akong muli at nakita ko namang hindi na siya nakanguso kundi nakangiti na siya sa akin.
"Yehey! Ngumiti na si ate! Alam mo ate, may nagsabi sa akin na lalaki kanina, nandito rin po siya pero 'nung umaga pa po, na dapat hindi umiiyak ang isang babae kasi nakakawala raw po 'yun ng ganda. Tapos kinwento niya rin po sa akin na sana raw po ay hindi umiyak 'yung babaeng iniwan niya kasi raw po masasaktan din daw siya ng sobra." pagkukwento 'nung bata at napatitig na lamang ako sa batang nasa harap ko.
"T-Talaga? Eh bakit daw u-umalis 'yung kuya at bakit ayaw niyang makitang umiiyak 'yung babaeng iniwan niya?" tanong ko sa kanya pero ngumiti lang ito sa akin at nilagay ang dala niyang sunflower sa gilid ng tenga ko at bigla na lang umalis.
I sigh. Pati bata pinagtatanungan ko na ng mga bakit ko. Nababaliw na nga talaga ako.
"Kailangang umalis 'nung kuya kasi gusto niyang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral para pakasalan niya 'yung babaeng iniwan niya kapag lumaki na sila. Ayaw niya ring makikitang umiiyak 'yung babae kasi mahal na mahal niya ito. Hindi siya nagpaalam na aalis patungong ibang bansa para hindi niya makikitang umiiyak 'yung babae." Narinig ko ang kanyang boses mula sa aking likuran at napatingin na lamang ako sa kanya.

He heard my question and he even answered it. He look at me with a simple smile. Now I know his reasons.
"Alam mo rin ba kung bakit umiiyak 'yung babae ngayon sa harap 'nung lalaki?" may halong hikbing tanong ko sa kanya at umiling naman siya.
"Kasi nasaktan siya 'nung umalis 'yung lalaki. Mahal na mahal na kasi niya ito. Pero umiiyak siya ngayon hindi na dahil sa sakit, alam mo kung bakit?" tanong ko.
"Bakit?" tanong ni Kaesley at tipid akong ngumiti. "Kasi sa wakas, nandito na ulit 'yung lalaki. Nandito na ulit 'yung pinakamamahal niya simula bata pa sila. Nandito ka na ulit." sabi ko at bigla siyang yumakap sa akin ng mahigpit.
Tumulo pa ng todo ang mga luha ko dahil sa nag-uumapaw na saya. "At hindi na aalis pa 'yung lalaki kasi ayaw na niyang umalis at iwan ulit 'yung pinakamamahal niyang babae." sabi ni Kaesley at kumalas na sa yakapan namin.
Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at lumapit siya sa akin. Pinagdikit niya ang aming mga noo saka niya hinagkan ang bulaklak na nasa tenga ko.
"Don't worry, Shilly, dahil mas marami pang bulaklak ang hahawakan mo papunta sa akin. When our wedding comes, the flowers will witness how my love for you never faded nor leave. It stay."

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!

Reincarnated as a Demonic Entity
I was roused to my senses by the smell of rancid meat, and met with an endless nothingness. The only thing I could use to know I was conscious was the smell, and the strong desire to instill fear unto others. ---------------------- I've always thought I was haunted. Ever since I turned six, things began to move around on their own, but this usually only happened when I was alone. However, when I turned eighteen, whatever it was got violent. It threw things at me, rather than around me, and it began to whisper to me when my loved ones would die. It never told me to end my own life, it just kept forcing me to live in fear, threatening to kill my family, until one day it must've been satisfied with its fill of fear. I died, only to be given a rude awakening. I had no stairway to salvation, only a highway to damnation.
