After decades at sea and a lifetime of loneliness, a weary sailor returns to land, broken by back pain and burdened by years of isolation. With no family left but a cantankerous uncle and a memory of a decaying childhood home, he chooses solitude over comfort, moving into an abandoned farmhouse long believed to be unfit for living.
But the house is not as empty as it seems...
A haunting short story of love, madness, and the price of seeing what you want to see.
EXCERPT:
I hesitated, but only for a second. For her, I'd do anything.

Ang Tranvia de Kabayong Maligno ni Gorgorya
What's with a Tranvia de Kabayong Maligno? An electric train car converted into a supernatural, horse-drawn carriage by three of the most unlikely Filipino hero adventurers you will never hear of anywhere. Traveling in the countryside in the Philippines in the 1970s was a dangerous affair. Buses would get lost into strange cities like Biringan then overnight be stuck at the top of some forest mountain in the middle of nowhere. The underdeveloped countryside roads were dark and unlit, and the least troubles you could face were bandits or drunk government soldiers. There was actually a legion of darkness that plagued North, South and the far south, Demon Hunters in a rickety rat-carriage pulled by Nightmare horses and armed to the teeth with supernatural deterrents that worked to rid the Philippines of the evil, supernatural monsters that preyed the dark roads. Meet Gorgorya Mariposa, Tomoko "Bading" Garci and Wong Fook Hing or Bakal Tinapay, the best retro-heroes in this supernatural action adventure short story series.Complete

"Seriously? You really thought I would accept you? I'm way too out of your league, retreat from talking to me and don't come near me, you're a vampire" She returned to being the killer eyed girl that I first met in an instant. Said by the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life, a goddess that I don't know why chose to stay in this messy earth. And she rejected me, well why would a perfect girl like her accept me right? but at least I tried than do nothing at all and regret it forever. "Bu...but I'm not a vampire!" I exclaimed in frustration. Seriously? That's the reason why she rejected me? I asked myself. That's the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard as an excuse for rejecting someone. "Well, you do look like one and I hate vamps" she argued before rolling her beautiful eyes at me. I want to argue but she didn't give me the chance by walking away, leaving me astounded.
