Maganda ang weather today, kaya naman, inimbitahan ni Narda si Leslie na pumunta sa condo nya. Umoo si Leslie at natuwa naman si Narda.
"Regina, may bisita ka ba mamaya?" Tanong ni Narda dito.
"Wala naman, why?"
"Pupunta si Leslie." Excited na sabi ni Narda.
"K." Wala sa mood na sabi ni Regina.
Nagluto na si Narda ng pagkain nila at pagkatapos nun ay naligo na sya. Para fresh.
Pagkatapos nyang maligo ay naghintay sya ng ilang samdali at nang marinig na nya ang doorbell, alam nyang si Leslie na yon.
"Leslie!" Masayang sabi nya at nagyakapan sila.
Napatingin naman si Regina sa kanila at umirap lang.
"Pasok ka." Sabi ni Narda at pumasok na nga si Leslie. Umupo ito sa sofa, habang si Narda naman ay kumuha ng tubig.
"Ang sweet mo naman pogi." Leslie said.
Napatawa naman si Narda dito. "Syempre naman, ano ba ako lang to oh."
"Oo nga noh? Akala ko ikaw si.."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Narda. "Sino?"
"Secret."
"Para namang sira eh. Sino nga?" Takang tanong ni Narda.
"Hindi ko sasabihin, secret to ni Victoria."
"Tama ka na, Leslie." Umiiling na sabi ni Narda habang si Leslie naman ay tawang tawa.
Bigla namang tumayo si Leslie para ilagay ang baso sa lababo, nakita nilang tumingin si Regina, kaya naman pagtingin nila sa isa't isa ay alam na nila ang gagawin nila.
Pagbalik ni Leslie ay niyakap sya agad ni Narda sa waist. Tumingin si Narda dito at pinaupo ito sa lap nya, tsaka ulit niyakap si Leslie.
Nakaramdam nanaman ng kakaiba si Regina. Kaya naman umiwas sya agad ng tingin at umubo ng malakas.
Natigilan naman ang dalawa at umalis na si Leslie sa lap nya. Kinindatan naman ni Narda ito at napa-iling nalang ito.

"Kumain ka na ba?" Tanong ni Narda kay Leslie.
"Hindi pa nga eh."
"Oh, tara na kain na!" Sabi ni Narda at lumapit kay Regina.
Bumibilis nanaman ang tibok ng puso nya habang sya ay papalapit.
"Regina? Kain na tayo?" Malambing na sabi ni Narda.
"I don't want to eat."
"Eh? Bakit?" Takang tanong ni Narda.
"Wala akong gana, kaya you two, just eat." Naiinis na sagot ni Regina.
Napabuntong hininga nalang si Narda at kiniss ang ulo ni Regina.
Medyo napangiti naman si Regina pero hindi nya ito pinakita kay Narda at nagcellphone nalang.
Narinig nya ang mga kalampag ng plato, kutsara at tinidor ibig sabihin ay kumakain na ang mga ito.
"Ang ganda mo naman kumain, how to be you?" Tanong ni Narda kay Leslie.
"How to be me? A-ah just eat." Sabi ni Leslie sabay tawa. "Wag ka nga maingay Gusion, barilin kita dyan ng armalite."
"Aba may itak naman ako."
"Edi wow nalang." Sabi ni Leslie at umirap.
"Can't they just talk quietly?" Bulong ni Regina at umirap. Naiinis sya sa dalawa dahil ang landi daw ng boses ni Leslie.
"Hala ang sarap mo pala ang luto." Gulat na sabi ni Leslie.
"Syempre, may secret ingredient yan."
"Ano naman?" Tanong ni Leslie.
"Secret nga diba, pag sinabi ko di na secret."
"Oo nga naman, bonak talaga." Sabi ni Leslie sabay tawa silang dalawa.
Natapos na silang kumain at sinabi ni Leslie kay Narda na sya nalang ang maghuhugas at suyuin nalang si Regina.
"Dali lakad na, ako nang bahala."
"Hindi pwede, bisita ka no!" Sagot ni Narda.
"Bahala ka nga."
Umupo nalang si Leslie sa sofa dahil wala syang magawa dahil mapilit rin si Narda. Ang sofa ni Narda ay medyo malapit lang sa higaan kaya naman medyo magkalapit lang si Leslie at Regina.

Tahimik lang naman si Regina sa kama habang nagce-cellphone, kaya naman nagcellphone nalang din si Leslie at nagtiktok.
Maya maya lang ay natapos na sa paghuhugas si Narda, at tinabihan nya si Leslie. Pag-upo nya ay nagpaalam si Leslie na iihi lang pagkatapos ay kumindat ito. At dahil wala pa si Leslie ay tumabi muna si Narda kay Regina.
"Regina." Malambing na tawag nya at niyakap ito, pero hindi sumasagot si Regina. "Busy ka?"
"No."
"Ayaw mo pang kumain?" Tanong ni Narda.
"I don't want."
"Sayang naman niluto ko." Narda sadly said.
"Niluto mo yun para sa kanya diba? Why are you being sad? You should be happy." Medyo naiinis na sagot ni Regina.
"Niluto ko yun para satin, Regina." Sagot ni Narda.
Lumabas na ng cr si Leslie at tinignan nya ito ng malungkot. Naintindihan naman agad ni Leslie ang nangyayari kaya nagaya syang lumabas.
"Regina, alis muna kami."
"Go."
Paglabas nila ay agad na ikinuwento ni Narda ang nangyari. Naisip ni Leslie ay nagtatampo ito, oh di kaya ay wala lang sa mood.
"Ano bang favorite nyang pagkain?" Tanong ni Leslie kay Narda.
"Pizza tapos minsan ice cream kapag trip nya."
Pagbukas naman ni Leslie ng instagram nya ay nakita nya ang story ni Regina. Hindi nya ito vinew since makikita iyon ni Regina, kaya naman tinignan nyang mabuti ang story nito.
"Huy bakla! Tignan mo, nakalagay sa story nya, Craving for Pizza and Ice cream so bad. Bakla ka, bilhan mo samahan kita."
Npangiti naman agad si Narda. "Oo nga noh! Tara na bilis."
Bumili muna sila ng pizza at sunod ay pumunta na ng seven eleven para bumili ng ice cream na gusto nya.
"Uy chocolate oh." Turo ni Narda.
"Idagdag mo na bakla, para naman ngumiti na sayo."
Tumango naman si Narda at bumili ng chocolate. Sinabihan sya ni Leslie na uuwi na sya pagkatapos magbayad, kaya naman hinatid nya ito at nagpasalamat rito.
Pagbukas nya ng pinto ay nakita nya si Regina na nakahiga. Dahan dahan syang pumasok at inilagay sa lamesa ang pizza samantalang nilagay nya naman sa ref ang ice cream, bago tumabi kay Regina.
"Galit ka ba sakin?" Tanong ni Narda dito.
"No, why would I?"
"Parang galit ka eh"
Humarap naman si Regina sa kanya. "I would never be mad at you, maybe naiinis pero galit hindi."
"So naiinis ka?"
"Sayo? No."
"Sure ka ba?"
Tumango naman si Regina at medyo ngumiti.
"Halika na, kain na tayo. Bumili ako ng pizza at ice cream." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda at nakita nyang nagningning ang mga mata ni Regina.
"Really?"
"Oo, kaya tayo kana dyan."
Tumayo naman agad si Regina at nakita nga ang pizza sa lamesa. Binuksan nya naman ang freezer at nakita nya ang ice cream.
Tumakbo naman sya kay Narda at niyakap ito. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Sabay halik nito sa pisngi.
"You're always welcome, now go eat. Alam ko gutom kana." Masayang sabi ni Narda habang ang tibok ng kanyang puso ay sobrang bilis at parang sasabog na.
Another pictures are uploaded on Regina's instagram with the caption,
"Ang cravings ko for today ay binili ni bebe girl."

Raccoon's Treasure
People waking up is a part of the usual normal life. An uncountable number of people waking up with fuzzy memories and selective amnesia, only to be greeted with a status screen congratulating them for being a participant of a game? The new normal. Uncertainty follows the realization as the world around them, while looking the same, melts together with memories of what was once called fantasy. New surroundings and blurred borders await as we follow a young man along his path of survival and growth. In this new world power is quantified and upgradeable, traits get objectified and give out boons, while feats, some bigger, some smaller get rewarded. So how hard could it be to procure enough food and water? Genre, tags and content warning are subject to change. They were selected preemptively to cover certain bases for future chapters. I do not have a script only a premise and general outline I will follow along as I write. As this is my first try at writing I'd be overjoyed to get any kind of feedback. Crossposted on QQ

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
