(THE CHAPTER STARTS NOW!)
Bandang hating gabi na n'ong nakauwi sila sa kanilang bahay na tinitirhan, dala-dala nang isa ang eco bag na basang-basa dahil sa dugo.
"Ah, finally." He sat and sigh, feeling tired.
"You hungry?" he asked without looking at the other man. Walking straight to the kitchen. They didn't bother to turn on the lights, the moonlight is enough. He washed up his hands and took a ketchup from the refrigerator.
"This is the perfect match," he silently mumbled, smiling.
The other man turned the television on, watching anime late at night. He sat beside him, putting the bowl of ketchup and another empty bowl to the safe place on the table in front of them.
He took the empty bowl and put the things inside the eco bag into it. The other guy smiled hugely staring at their midnight snack. He excitedly took one human eye and took one bite. His eyes widen out of pleasure. And eat it whole, he slowly chewed it. Nourishing and feeling its taste. They pleasingly chewed while closing their eyes.
"Ampota ang sarap!" As he slowly sliced the human eye into two. He spread the ketchup on both sides, like a sandwich and dip it in the bowl of ketchup. He closed his eyes as he chewed slowly.
"Hmm," He nodded, agreeing to what the other guy said, because its the truth. They finished the nine eyes in just an hour.
"Its pretty much tastier, right? Knowing its a healthy eyes. Pft." He silently mocked, but his eyes is still watching the television.
"Yeah, and I want more." He smirked.
He took something out of his pocket and stared at it. He slowly ran his long fingers through the shining body of it.
"That's a pretty screw." The other guy took a glace of what he's holding. Despite of the darkness, the screw shined, looking like it was never used. He smirked as his finger bled in just one touch of the screw.
"I know... Its the Archimedean screw."
JASHCA
Galing akong university, kasalukuyan akong naglalakad pauwi. Malapit na rin maggabi, 'di kami nagsabay ni El umuwi. Iba schedule namin ngayon. Napatingin ako sa bahay nila Aling Niks, nagbebenta sila nang mga soft cookies. 'Yong cookies nila ay may malaking pagkaiba sa ibang cookies, nakakaadik kumbaga. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang makita si Haku sa loob, pangiti-ngiti siya kay Aling Niks. Siguro bibili siya, mabigat akong bumuntong hininga. Penge.
Pagdating sa bahay ay 'di muna ako nagbihis, nagluto muna ako nang hapunan, nasa sala si Tito pero kaharap ang mga bundok-bundok na papeles. Napangiwi ako.
Pagkatapos namin kumain ay nagwash up muna ako at naghome work. Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Haku kaninang umaga. I took my phone and decided to go online.
Umingay ito dahil sa mga chat ni El, nagulat daw bakit ako online. I replied. Then, pinaalala niya sa 'kin 'yong kay Haku. Punyeta.
I click 'Message Request' and saw his chat. I stared at it if its worth to reply, 'Hi blockmate' lang naman ang chinat niya, kareply-reply ba 'to? Tsk.
