[NEW CLASSIC SERIES #1] Meet the lead vocalist of New Classic, Isaiah Kalen Mallari. A #Wattys2020 Winner story under Romance category.

Junica is a well-known horror and suspense writer, but after a tragic accident, her creativity seems to have vanished. The once-prolific storyteller now struggles to come up with even a single new idea. Every day, her inbox is flooded with messages from fans begging for her next book, and her editor is constantly asking for the next manuscript. But no matter how hard she tries, the moment she sits in front of her laptop, her imagination freezes-and so do her fingers. Walang bagong plot. Walang bagong nobela. Pakiramdam niya tuloy ay tuluyan nang nawala sa kanya ang nag-iisang bagay na kaya niyan gawin para mabuhay. Ang magsulat at manakot. Until she decides to go on a vacation na malayo sa pamilya niya. Bagong lugar. Bagong mga tao. Bagong story plot na pwede niyang isulat. Pero makapagsulat na nga kaya siya ng nobelang katatakutan? O madadala niya sa totoong buhay ang mga katatakutan na dati lang ay isinusulat niya? Lalo na kapag nalaman niya na ang lugar na pinagba-bakasyunan niya... Ay isang kuta pala ng mga baliw.

Isang laro... Isang tanong... Isang sagot... Simple lang ang larong ito... kapag tumapat sa iyo ang bote, kailangan mo lang sagutin ang tanong sa laro na... "Ikaw? Paano mo gustong mamatay?" At pagkatapos, mamamatay ka na... Sa paraang gusto mo. Ang simple 'di ba? So, ano? Handa ka na ba? Sigurado ka ba na gusto mong sumali sa larong ito? Napag-isipan mo na bang mabuti? Nang malalim? Nang paulit-ulit? Kaya mo na bang sagutin ang tanong na, "Ikaw? Paano mo gustong mamatay?"

Fright Night. Tuwing huling Biyernes ng buwan, bago sumapit ang hating gabi ay nagkikita-kita ang magbabarkadang sina Ryan, Ed, Cez, Kai at Joy sa likod ng isang abandonadong gusali sa loob ng subdivision nila. Kung saan naglalaro sila ng mga larong pambata, taya-tayaan, taguan o kaya ay kwentuhan ng katatakutang may kasunod na food trip. Last Friday before their graduation day. Last Fright Night na din ng barkada, dahil pagkatapos ng graduation ay magkakaiba sila ng High School na papasukan. Isang sorpresa ang pagsali sa kanila ni Franco sa gabing iyon. Ang kaklase nilang isang perpekto ng modelo estudyanteng binubully sa eskwelahan. Nerd type. Matagal na nitong gustong sumali sa Friday Trip nila. Sa barkada nila. At ng gabing iyon sy pinagbigyan nila ito. Nang gabing iyon, tagu-taguan ang laro nila, at si Franco ang taya. At ng gabi ding iyon huli nilang nakita si Franco. At dahil sa takot na mapagalitan at mapahamak sa kanya-kanyang magulang, inilihim nila ang Fright Night na nangyari. Nawalang parang bula si Franco sa subdivision. Walang sinoman ang makapagsabi kung nasaan ito. Wala rin silang pinagsabihan na kahit na sino tungkol sa laro nila. At nangako sa isa't isa na kakalimutan ang lahat ng nangyari ng gabing iyon. Walang Fright Night na nangyari. Ga-graduate sila at magiging normal ang buhay ng bawat isa. At hindi nila alam, sa paglahong iyon ni Franco, tila naglaho na rin ang hinaharap nila. Susundan sila ng lihim na ibinaon nila sa limot. Susundan sila nito gaano man sila kalayo at gaano man karaming taon ang lumipas... Takasan man nila ng paulit-ulit, susundan pa din sila ng lihim na itinatago ng bawat isa at darating ang oras na sila din mismo ang hahanap sa sagot sa tanong Kung nasaan si Franco...
