Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.

What He Left Behind
This wasn't Cody Lim's first funeral. Cody Lim never imagined having to bury his younger twenty-three-year-old brother, Clarence. He thought he was through with burying family members, but the universe had dealt him a shitty hand. This time, guilt plagued him more than he thought, knowing he had willingly walked away from his brother six years ago-a relationship he could no longer rekindle even if he wanted to. When Ezra Davey had learned of his roommate Clarence's heart condition, he had begged him to reach out to his estranged brother before time ran out. Ezra had been lucky to have six great years with him, but he didn't expect he'd have to make the harrowing call that Clarence's heart had given out before either brother could reach out. Death had been the guillotine of a relationship Cody could never rekindle, but it's what Clarence left behind that makes the journey of moving on a little easier. -A Novelette- -A Gen 3 2023 entry-Complete
