"TAMA NA"
-SHINGRI
———————————————
Matagal na panahon na
Naaalala mo pa ba?
Lahat ng mga alaala?
Kasi ako? Oo. Naaalala ko pa
Sariwang sariwa pa.
Simula sa mga panahong ang lahat ay ayos pa.
Hanggang sa naging malabo na.
At natapos sa "Ayoko na"
Naaalala ko pa.
Yung sakit, na hanggang ngayo'y pinapatay parin ako.
Mga alaalang dumudurog sa puso ko.
Mga matatamis mong ngiting minsang kinaadikan ko.
Umaasa paring mababalik sa lahat at magiging masaya tayo.
Pero ikaw lang ang masaya.
Dahil ako, hanggang ngayon durog na durog pa.
Gabi gabing lumuluha
Pinapatay ng katotohanang wala ng pag asa.
Nananatili parin ang nag iisang katanungan
Na tumatak na sa aking isipan
At hanggang ngayo'y naiiwang walang kasagutan
Bakit mo ko iniwan?
Gusto mong hanapin ang sarili mo
Yan ang dahilang lumabas sa mga labi mo
Masakit man, pero para sayo
Lumayo ako.
Kinimkim ko lahat.
Hindi ko nagawang magalit
Kahit dito sa loob loob ko sobrang sakit
Mga luhang kasing pait ng aking sinapit
Pero nanatili ako.
Minahal parin kita, dahil yun ang gusto ko.
Naniwala parin ako sa mga pangakong binitawan mo.
Gusto ko nandito ako para sa oras na kailangan mo, ay nandito lang ako.
Pero sa araw na iyon,
Sa 'di inaasahang pagkakataon
Naging masaya muli ang mga labi ko
Muling nasilayan ang mga ngiti mo
Pero sa pangalawang pagkakataon,
Pinatay ako ng sariling mga mata ko
Mga nasilayang gusto kong ibaon
Kusang tumulo ang likido nito at ako'y napako.
Ang kamay mo.
At ang kamay niya.
Mga palitan niyo ng ngitian.
At masasayang tawanan.
Pinatay mo ko.
Pinatay mo ang puso ko
Minahal kita
Binuo kita,
Nung mga panahong mata mo'y lumuluha.
Nanatili ako sa tabi mo,
Sa sinabi mong kailangan mo ako
Pinasaya kita,
Dahil ngiti mo lang ay sapat na
Minahal kita,
Pero bakit ganto?
Pakiusap, tama na.
Matagal mo na kong pinaniniwala
Na totoo ang lahat at may pag asa.
Pinaniwalang mahal mo 'kong talaga
Pinaniwalang magtatagal tayong dalawa
Pinaniwalang balang araw ay maibabalik pa
Pinaniwalang ako'y mahal mo pa
Pero #$/^ , tama na.
Minahal kita
Pero anong sinukli mo?
Sinira mo ang mundong minsa'y umikot na sayo.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.

Revenant
Everyone dies. Not everyone gets back up again afterward. The Deep Paths are a cursed place, meant for those similarly cursed souls whom the gods themselves denied the sweet release of death. Revenants haunt the underworld, wielding forbidden powers and often consuming those who lack the strength to join them. At least, that's the story that parents teach their kids up on the surface. Reshid can't remember what he might have done to deserve such a fate, but he learns quickly that there is more to undeath than the gods and their faithful preach to the living. Revenants have a unique connection to essential magics that allows them to develop their powers in extremely diverse ways. Wherever there is power, though, there are those seeking to wield it, whether they be governments and gods from above, or mythical elder races from below.
