It occurred to me recently that i have a bunch of stories i wanted to illustrate and to well, story tell, but never had the opportunity to do, you can blame me being a complete idiot oblivious of how to write a story. If you are familiar with the Filipino term "Ningas Cogon" Im the personification of that saying, aren't we all ningas cogon, starting with flames and passion engulfing anything in it's path then ceasing once we don't get the praise and recognition we thought we would get.
The problem I have in writing is that I don't know how to keep things interesting, how to unlock someone's unique perspective in that story, I don't know how to show people what I see whenever I thought of these short stories, so this time I will be trying new, the concept of first person or Third person writing is too hard for me, I feel like when I do that the stories becomes super repetitive and boring. I am open for criticism and will do my best to reflect on your voices.
This story has been in my head for too long now, I once wrote it during grade 8 but it turned out to be absolutely horrendous, I'm trying once again with a new found fuel for passion, hatred towards everyone.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
