A GL short story.

May mali sa school nila. Isa-isang may namamatay. Walang suspect at ebidensya. Walang sagot. Pero lahat nagsisimulang magtanong. Sino ang killer? At bakit parang laging may mali sa mga alaala ni Ziya? Minsan, may mga boses na hindi niya mapatahimik. Minsan, may mga pangyayaring hindi niya maalala kung nangyari ba talaga o hindi. Sa gitna ng takot at mga lihim, dalawang tao ang patuloy na lumalapit sa kanya. Isa na tila handang ipaglaban siya. Isa na parang may tinatagong katotohanan. Pero habang lumalala ang mga nangyayaring krimen, isang tanong ang hindi niya maiwasang harapin. Kung hindi niya na mapagkakatiwalaan ang sarili niyang isip... Sino pa ang paniniwalaan niya?
