[This story will become free again on AUGUST 30, 2021] After Natalie escapes death, she finds a silver feather, phone messages from an unknown sender and gets the ability to foresee death. All of which lead her to unlikely love. ***** When Natalie Lacierna wakes up after surviving a freezing death inside an ice factory, she has three curious things in her possession. A silver feather from somewhere and someone she no longer remembers; the ability to foretell deaths and see death gods roaming the Earth; and the memory of someone close to her with whom she used to talk frequently with on her phone. As she puts her life back together, she moves into a rental house owned by Lolo Dimos. At the house, she gets acquainted with Lolo's grandson, Henry, a college professor who looks very familiar but she cannot place. At first, living with Henry is trying - he speaks very little and intimidates her. However, over time, the two become close as they talk about angels, death, humanity, and God. Before long, Natalie falls for the professor. As they get closer, so too does Natalie get to figuring out the mystery of the silver feather and the phone calls from the unknown sender. What she finds is heartbreaking but comes with the glimmer of redemption. After Death is a sequel to the epistolary story, Hello, Death, and supplementary short story, A Walk With Death.

Para sa taong mahal ko, Sana patuloy kang maging masaya, At kahit sa piling ng iba, 'Di ako magsasawang sumuporta sayo. Para sa taong niloko ako, Maraming salamat. Sa wakas, ako ay natuto. Huwag kang mag-alala; hindi masama ang loob ko, Salamat, dahil 'di na ako muling magpapauto. Para sa taong nang-iwan, Panigurado, ikaw ay may dahilan. Sana man lang ako ay iyong binalaan, At baka sakali, ito ay aking napaghandaan. Para sa taong naiwan, Alam ko ang iyong nararamdaman, 'Yan din ay aking naranasan, Marami pang ibang darating, ito'y iyong tandaan. Para sa taong nagmamahal, At sa taong naghahanap ng pagmamahal. Para sa taong pilit lumilimot, Sa kanyang nakaraang puno ng poot. Para sa taong patuloy na nasasaktan, Kapit lang; ito rin ay iyong malalampasan. Huwag kang susuko, Narito ako, karamay mo. At sa pamamagitan ng mga tulang ito, Puso't damdamin niyo ay sana'y maantig ko. Lahat ng mga isinulat, Dito lamang maisisiwalat.

[SARMIENTO SERIES #4] Peanut butter and jelly. Suit and tie. Fish and chips. Unlike all those things that go together, Scarlett Espino and Daniel Ramirez are the opposite. They are like oil and water, you and your ex, and for some people, pineapples on pizza. He is willing to do anything for the one he loves, while she is afraid of taking risks. He is vocal about his feelings, while she is good at hiding what she truly feels. Despite the differences, Daniel's consistent and sincere efforts move Scarlett's heart. He slowly chips down her walls until she is ready to put it all on the line. But just as they take a chance on love, they discover an unexpected tie which connects them both. Like how it usually is in the movies, their relationship takes a turn to reality and wakes them up from their dream.

Philippines: year 2300 Ang panahon kung saan ang Pilipinas ay nahahati sa tatlong paksyon na tila caste system na pamumuhay; una, ang mga bid (ang pinaka mababang uri ng pamumuhay o ang pinakamahirap). Pangalawa, ang mga commoner (middle class napamumuhay). At ang huli ang pinakamataas na antas ng pamumuhay, ang mga bidders. Kung bakit bidders? Sila ang may kakayahan para bumili ng mga bid o kahit na commoner para mailipat ang kanilang memory gene sa ibang katawan at masabing imortal sila. Ang memory gene na ito ay inimbento ng kompanyang MEMO© na hawak ng kasalukuyang diplomatic government. Isang eksperimontong pumasa sa Europe at patuloy na ginagamit ng mga bidders upang mabuhay sa kahit gaano pa kahabang siglo.
