For love, would you play the role of the hero or the villain? An unmasked serial murderer is on the run, and killings are taking place all over the country. What a bad moment for a girl named Skylar Millie Parker to return home after four years in Canada, quitting a well-paid job. Unexpectedly, something happened on her way home when she met someone who would eventually lead her to an even better job opportunity from a prestigious family. Skylar accepted it without having a hint of the bigger trouble that would appear in her life in the form of a person; a woman named Hera Cythera Arentsvelt. The stories about Cythera intrigued her, even without personally seeing the infamous head of the family as she's always locked in her room. Quiet and mysterious, hauntingly playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. But then the time finally came, and something unexplainable changed inside Skylar the moment she saw the woman behind that name... "I remember vividly the first time I laid my eyes on you. You were wearing your purple robe with the same color as your eyes. I suddenly felt like everything around me had stopped, and you were the only one moving. Slowly taking the steps down the grand stairs. It felt like my breath got stuck in my throat, my heart pumping more blood than it should, and my head whispered to my ear...she looks ethereal." Ngunit ano nga bang malaking gulo na dala ng dalaga sa buhay ni Sky? At ano ang katakot takot na sikreto nito ang siyang tuluyang magpapabago sa buhay niya at sa mga tao sa paligid niya? Worse than that, it looks like Cythera knows something about the infamous serial killer in town... But is she the killer? Anong kaya mong isugal para protektahan ang taong pinaka importante para sayo? Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish (Tagalog-English)

The Diary of A Tortured Poet isn't your typical collection of poems. It's a raw, determined exploration of the human condition, filtered through the lens of a soul wrestling with its demons. Inside, you'll find poems that delve into the depths of despair, loneliness, and unrequited love. The poet doesn't shy away from the darkness, instead using vivid imagery and metaphors to paint a picture of a world teetering on the edge. There will be poems that rage against the injustices of the world, and others that whisper of a beauty glimpsed only through fractured emotions. Love, when it appears, is a bittersweet poison. It ignites passion but ends in heartbreak, leaving scars etched onto the page. Nature becomes a reflection of the poet's inner confusion - stormy skies mirroring the storm within, and wilting flowers symbolizing lost hope. But even in the bleakest of moments, there's a flicker of defiance. The tortured poet finds solace in the act of creation itself, using words as a weapon against the silence that threatens to consume them. There's a yearning for connection, a desperate plea to be understood, even if it's just by a single reader who dares to delve into the poet's tormented soul. The Diary of A Tortured Poet is a challenging read, but a rewarding one. It's a testament to the enduring power of human emotions, reminding us that even in the face of immense suffering, the creative spirit can find a way to express itself, leaving behind a legacy of raw beauty and haunting honesty.
