My boss is elusive. He never shows his face and communicates only through phone calls or the intercom. Very few have ever seen him. Yet, for some reason, everyone is drawn to him. We know almost nothing about him. But there's one rule you must never forget. Stay seven feet away.

During the spread of the deadliest virus in 2054 Philippines, Santhy Gozon struggles to survive to reach the last quarantine. *** A sixteen-year-old student should be worrying about school, friends, girls, growing up-not battling the deadliest virus the world has ever seen, but Santhy doesn't exactly have a choice. This virus doesn't choose its victims-psychosis, paranoia, death-and the only way to survive is to go to the Last Quarantine. Aboard a public bus, Santhy and the other passengers fight for their lives. A virus this lethal and ruthless, a rate of 902 to 1,543 victims a minute...Santhy won't be one of them. At least, that's what he's trying to convince himself. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Louise De Ramos
