Dead Stars (Short Story)

What if's.
The greatest friend yet enemy of man when it comes to the journey of life.

Clara Venice Natividad has a lot of goals and dreams which she considers as her stars in life and wants to fulfill. It always seems like everything is planned and organized for her future, she studied hard for her dream university and to be the person who she wants to be in the future. However, she also wants to try different things like she is always running out of time.

As Clara explores the stage of emerging adulthood, she could witness how her bright plans and precious youth memories are gradually lost in the present, lalo na noong first-year college na siya. That's why when she saw a familiar face in her new school, umasa siya na baka may pag-asa pa na maisalba ang mga ito.

Kaya lang, siya rin pala ang magpaparamdam kay Clara na life is really harsh and doesn't always go as planned and the way we want. Even though the world always saw them as competitors, Sevyn Jude Liwanag still guides Clara to remind her that life could be harsh because of the deafening what if's in our thoughts, but there are still things that are worth living.

Little did they know, they are creating a new star in each other that will serve as their light in the darkness, will they be able to keep the star alive that they created? If not, is there a lifetime where these dead stars are alive?
