    This is the story of a mother who gave up everything for her children... even the love of her life. This is not fiction. This is my truth. The hunger. The pain. The sacrifices. And the impossible choice no one should ever have to face: choosing between your children and the person you love most. I loved him. I still love him. But I couldn't choose him... and in that moment, I lost him forever. Some choices break you in ways nothing else can. This story is about love, loss, and what it feels like when your heart shatters... and never becomes whole again.

    Before you read another word, answer one question: Have you ever felt invisible? I don't mean ignored for a moment- I mean forgotten by everyone. Because that is where my story begins. Left with nothing, I found myself back on the streets-wandering, surviving, and slowly losing who I once was. In a world that refuses to see me, every day becomes a fight not just to live... but to exist. "I Am Homeless" is a raw journey through pain, survival, and the search for meaning when everything is lost.

    Trapped in the slums. Surrounded by the dead. No heroes. No escape. Only survival. In Barangay 15, Manila, people live shoulder to shoulder - stacked in shanties, alleyways, and rooftops. There's no room for privacy, much less for panic. So when the dead began to rise, they didn't crawl - they swarmed. Miguel, a former street rat trying to keep his head down, wakes up to blood-curdling screams and the stench of death in the air. With his younger sister and a handful of survivors, he must navigate the labyrinth of shacks and shadows, hunted not only by the infected, but by the desperate and cruel who remain. Every alley could be your last. Every neighbor could be next. This is not your average zombie apocalypse. This is the Philippines - and when space runs out, the dead don't wait their turn. > A long-form horror survival series. > Filipino setting. > Violence. Gore. Trauma. Redemption. > Updates often! > For readers who love slow-burn dread, high-tension claustrophobia, and hard choices.

    "Madame, you know we can't afford that type of deal, if there's any other option you might have..." Unfazed, she looked him dead in the eyes. She knew her business was the only thing the little town was hanging on to. "Well, I suppose you'll just have to figure something out then, sir." Madame then turned on her heels in the sand and with one last look at Henderson, uttered, "Good day." At this point, Henderson did not know what to do other than to watch her make her way to Oakland's docks, her sky-blue dress billowing in the wind. At last, when Madame was certainly out of earshot, he grumbled, "Good day, Madame," then closed his eyes and prayed to God that all fifty crates of the Oakland-grown tea had made it aboard that ship. ··· This story is dedicated to my father. It was my gift to him for his fiftieth birthday.
