This personal essay is about my experience and hesitation of working in a local tabloid newspaper, being a lesbian who knows how Philippine tabloids sensationalize negative perspectives on sexual orientation and gender identity in order to sell headlines.

This is one of the five personal essays with the theme "queer and the media" that was published in the LGBTQ anthology BUHAY BAHAGHARI published by the University of the Philippines' Center for Women's Studies in Diliman, Quezon City.

"You are mine," He murmured across my skin. He inhaled my scent deeply and kissed the mark he gave me. I shuddered as he lightly nipped it. "Danny, you are mine and only mine, you understand?" Daniella Saunders had a pretty rough life. After being heartbroken and betrayed by both her father and her boyfriend, Danny moves to a small town to find the comfort of her mother. Everything is not what it seems and soon, Danny finds herself in the middle of a world she didn't even knew existed outside of fiction novels and movies. Not only does the town seem bizarre, but her senses heighten, her temper is out of control, and her hunger amplify. Throw in an arrogant, selfish, sexy, possessive player who didn't even want her in the first place, her life just seamlessly attract madness. Especially with those creepy threats coming from a "Silver Bullet", she can't keep still.
