A collection of poems, where every line tells a story.

Christopher Laurence Marquez used to think the important moments would be obvious when they arrived. There would be a decision to make, something impossible to take back, or at least enough warning for him to understand that his life was changing. He should have known better. Some moments slipped past without asking to be remembered. A conversation that lasted longer than expected. A familiar voice at the right time. An ordinary day that somehow became easier to carry. The people who stayed close enough to notice when Christopher was pretending not to need anyone. Life rarely separated itself into beginnings, endings, and everything that mattered in between. Most of the time, Christopher was simply there, living it before he understood what any of it meant. And sometimes, the moments that seemed smallest were the ones that refused to disappear.

Years after leaving Philippine Science High School Main Campus, Sheena Marie Ballesteros returns for an alumni gathering expecting the usual reunion rituals: old jokes, career updates, group photos, and the strange experience of seeing former classmates as adults. Then Christopher Laurence Marquez walks in. Everyone remembers Christopher as the quiet one: brilliant, careful, composed, and difficult to read. He was the kind of batchmate people respected from a distance, someone who always seemed certain of where he was going even when the rest of them were still figuring themselves out. Years later, Christopher is still unmistakably himself, with the same precision, quietness, and habit of listening before he speaks. Yet as the afternoon goes on, Sheena begins to notice small differences she cannot quite name, enough to make the version of Christopher in her memory feel incomplete. Between familiar teasing, old stories, and conversations shaped by the years they spent apart, Sheena and their batchmates begin to reconsider what they thought they knew about one another. What starts as an ordinary school reunion becomes a quiet look at memory, adulthood, and the gap between the people we remember and the people they become when life continues beyond our view. [A post-Constellations Underfoot novella]

"Space, time, position, and identity... without these, perhaps existence itself would be meaningless. Yet beyond all of them lies something that gives life its true purpose. Do you know what that is? You may think you know the answer... but the truth is never that simple." 7th Dimension: Eternity Seven dimensions. Seven realities. One eternal bond. Long ago, in the forgotten Kingdom of Sejin, a bond was forged that even time itself could not erase. But fate was shattered when Neon, a loyal general bound by a childhood promise, used the power of the Seven-Stone Bracelet in a desperate attempt to hold on to the one person he could never let go-Amirah. His actions triggered a chain of dimensional shifts, scattering destinies across countless realities. Now, in a different world, Avir and Princess Mira begin experiencing strange dreams-visions of places they have never seen, people they have never met, and memories that do not belong to them. Unaware that they are merely variants carrying fragments of a forgotten past, they are slowly being drawn toward a destiny far older than their current lives. As the mystery of the lost Sinjin Realm resurfaces and the secrets of the Seventh Dimension begin to unfold, hidden truths emerge about the Eternal Binding-a sacred bond chosen by the Almighty Himself. No matter how many worlds separate them, no matter how many identities they assume, fate continues to guide them back to one another. But Neon has not given up. And somewhere beyond reality, the final black Stone waits, guarding a kingdom from which no one has ever returned. Across multiple dimensions, forgotten memories, and countless lifetimes, one question remains: Can destiny truly be rewritten, or will eternity always bring them back together? - Md Kabir
