Sanay na si Alden sa mga gabing pauwi siya nang mag-isa-yung tipong pagod na pagod ka na sa kakacheck ng papers, pero wala kang choice kundi umuwi sa parehong madilim at tahimik na kalsada. Lagi niyang iniisip na normal lang 'yon. Routine. Lalo na kung teacher ka at sanay ka nang uuwi nang lampas alas-onse. Pero nung isang gabing basa ang hangin sa ambon, may napansin siyang kakaiba sa ilalim ng poste na kumikislap-kislap, parang hirap na ring mabuhay. Nando'n siya. Isang nilalang na hindi niya ma-describe nang maayos. Matangkad. Payat. Naka-itim na parang nilulon ng anino mismo. At ang ulo... nakatagilid sa anggulong hindi dapat ginagalaw ng leeg ng kahit sinong tao. Napahinto si Alden. Napakapit sa payong niya. Sinabi niya sa sarili, Pagod ka lang. Mata mo lang 'yan. Huwag kang praning. Pero bago pa siya makahinga nang maayos, bigla itong nawala. Kasunod no'n, may malamig na hiningang dumampi sa batok niya-at nang lumingon siya, nando'n ulit 'yung nilalang. Mas malapit. Mas mali. Bukas ang bibig, pero walang laman. Walang labi, walang ngipin. Parang puwang lang na humihigop ng init sa paligid. Simula no'n, hindi na siya tinigilan. Sa daan pauwi. Sa hallway ng apartment. Sa silid na pinipilit niyang gawing "safe space." Lagi niya itong nakikita sa mga sulok na hindi naaabot ng ilaw-mga sulok na dati naman niyang hindi pinapansin. Isang anino. Isang presensya. Isang tingin na hindi niya nakikita, pero ramdam niya sa balat, sa batok, sa bawat hinga. At habang tumatagal, unti-unting nare-realize ni Alden ang bagay na matagal niyang inaayawan isipin: Hindi niya lang basta "nakita" ang nilalang na 'yon. Hindi ito imahinasyon. Hindi pagod. Hindi stress. Sinusundan na siya ng tilted man.

​A Second Chance at Forever, Under the Shadow of a Secret. ​Five years ago, Azura left the Philippines and her first love, Clyden, carrying a precious secret: their son, Zandrei. Only her cousin, Dawn, knows the truth. Azura believed that chapter was definitively closed, sealed by distance and time. ​But on a quiet Father's Day, a single, impulsive social media post shatters the carefully constructed peace. Azura shares a seemingly innocent "mayday" picture with Zandrei and the caption: "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THIS WONDERFUL GUY!" ​Clyden, her cynical ex-boyfriend, initially dismisses it as Azura's typical playful dramatics. Yet, as the post buzzes with friends' teasing and the reality of the date sinks in, a consuming doubt takes root. The possibility-the terrifying, exhilarating possibility-that this isn't a joke begins to consume him. ​Now, as Azura boards a plane home with Zandrei asleep on her shoulder, the two are unknowingly hurtling toward a collision. Under the Same Sky is the story of that inevitable reunion, a journey where unspoken love rekindles, resentments surface, and a secret that has been dormant for half a decade can no longer stay hidden. ​This is a poignant and emotionally charged novel about confronting the past, the transformative power of parenthood, and the life-altering moment when two people must face the truth that has bound them together all along.

Scarlet never expected to be drawn to Sawyer, the man who saved her on the day the Cerebravirus outbreak began. Together, they found safety in the Tent Zone -- isang malawak na kampo na naging pansamantalang kanlungan para sa mga survivors -- kung saan niya ito mas lalong nakilala at lumalim pa ang nararamdaman para rito. But when chaos broke out in the camp, they were forced to flee. Kasama ang iba pang mga survivors ay magkasama nilang hinarap ang bangungot na dulot ng epidemya. They had to fight, run, and hide just to stay alive. They also found love, only for it to shatter when Sawyer suddenly disappeared -- leaving her a heartbreaking note, saying he never really loved her and could not be with her. Nasaktan man, subalit nang malaman niyang nasa peligro ang buhay nito, she made a choice: to risk everything for the man who once saved her. The question is -- can she save him in time, or love will be the reason for her to become infected and lose her life in the process? Started: July 28, 2025
