synopsis

The year is 2020—an illness spread throughout the world. In the blink of an eye, doors were sealed shut, work was behind screens, and once-busy cities turned into ghost towns. Houses were tombs, and the people whom you believe were friends are masked.

Walang ano si Marijo. Malungkot lang siya. Ilang araw na siyang walang ligo. Buong araw na naka-upo sa kama. Nagigising sa gitna ng gabi. Nawawalang ganang mag-aral. Pero wala siyang ano. Malungkot lang talaga siya.

Kaya sa gabing iyon, pampalipas oras lang talaga ang kinailangan niya. Pero paanong pampalipas oras? E nakilala niya ang iyaking drama queen na kaka-break lang sa jowa.

At imbes na pinasalamatan siya sa advice, tinawag pa siyang hatdog.
