Beware of the Saraceno family living on the farthest end of Winter Park. Cross their front yard and you'll be smothered, stuffed, and sedated- smothered by their hospitality, stuffed with mouth-watering Italian or Indian cuisine (depending on which part of their heritage they're proud of on that day), and sent home sedated by a serene sense of spiritual calmness. They're also blood-sucking creatures of the night but who needs to know about that? Note: This story contains loads of violent, gory, and embarassing scenes. Do not read if you are trigger-sensitive. Do read if you wanna have a good time. Cheerio! (Full introduction inside.)

The tale of a trio as troubled as they are troublesome.

SHOOKT 1.0 Nora is a solid fangirl who managed to get her crush's cell number from her big brother (without him knowing). She texted him everyday, sending him encouraging messages and inspiring quotes from her favorite books and movies. Arch, the athlete that's currently dominating the UAAP Men's Basketball season A.K.A. Nora's ultimate crush, never once replied. One night, instead of an inspiring text, Nora accidentally sent him a rant. And what do you know? Arch finally texted back. LIT AF 2.0 Sabrina had expected to fangirl at Wanderland, the annual music festival for indie music in Manila. But what she didn't expect was to fangirl over someone she hadn't seen in years. Her high school crush came back into her life, looking hotter than ever - gone were the boy-next-door features, now a man through and through. But the thing was, even though he was the highlight of her high school years, was she his? Did he remember her name? Did he recognize her face? What if he doesn't even know her at all? WHOMST 3.0 Chie's world has always been crazy. During the day, she goes to class. During the night, she attends events. On weekends, she meets up with friends. Ansel likes to keep things easy and simple. He goes to basketball practice before and after school, he keeps his grades above average, and he drinks his Saturday nights away. Girls? They just come and go. What if one day, a girl came into Ansel's life and stayed? What if one day, the girl who was once his life came back? Would he break Chie's heart for someone who broke his? But the ultimate question is, would Chie let him?

Everything remembered must be forgotten. The gods are glorious, and then they are not -- history is an ongoing clock. It trudges on.

careworn and smiling with a crooked grin, adoration slept in the wrinkles beside his eyes as he observed the mosaic beauty. she held his callused palm in hers and whispered to the moon; "tonight, we're monsters." romanticism isn't always beautiful.

Mr Potato Head has got too many pounds on him - and he ain't talking about money. Mrs Potato Head has remade her face many times, just like her counterpart in Toy Story. Mr and Mrs Potato Head are neighbours, but they are not just set apart by a slab of brick wall.
