half-cooked ideas that survived long enough to be considered consumable, but that i didnt have the patience / time / patience and time to cook into a full novel (like with the 50+ novel ideas i have floating in my head).
Reality is what you make it. Inspired by dreams, jokes, and reality, these set of stories follow a cast of characters as they live out their lives in the Philippine's most urbanized, traffic-jammed, smoke-choked region.
This isn't really a story to get people hooked, not yet. It's more or less a fun side-project similar to Life-End Party, where I just write because I felt like it. These stories don't follow any chronological order unless it's implied, at least not yet.
References to reality, such as in places, characters, or whatever are normally done in vague references. Whatever I may or may not be referencing is not reflective of reality, and I do not mean to degrade or bash any real entities or events or whatever. I'm just trying to write a story for the heck of it, let me have fun please 3:
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
