Anathema
A Filipino Mystery Novel
MONDAY, JUNE 3RD, 2019.
The citizens of the Philippines woke up to a horrible news: every resident of the quarantined Eagle Homes subdivision are dead. There were no known survivors.
Then, later that night, a Facebook User named "Anon Ymous" posted a document, claiming that it is the digital copy of a diary that belongs to a resident of Eagle Homes. A 16-year-old boy named John Murphy Celestino.
Speculations were quick to rise. The Government debunked the entire claim, saying that it is "a false rumor with a purpose to instigate fear among the public."
Some cult fanatics were convinced that every word on the document was true, and that the events were signs that the apocalypse is nearing.
The document was quickly removed from the web, the account was deactived. But half of the people who saw the post when it was first uploaded was quick to save a copy of the document. It was eventually re-uploaded multiple times to different social media websites.
Including this one.
