Let me start by saying that I have a deep connection with books ever since I was a little kid, although not to the point that I identify myself with other bookworms who can devour stories within days (or even hours!)  I keep a healthy stack of them in my bookshelf, which is about a foot high and more than a foot wide; ranging from fantasy, macabre, finance, children's books, weird fiction, and the occasional plumbing guides which happen to catch my eyes during book sales :I

Anyway, I think what I have here is healthy enough to keep me from slipping down the insanity drain.  Yes, those moments when you see a slip in the system of things and just decide to ignore it for fear of uncovering something you think you can never handle alone.  This series is the product of those moments when I try to push the covers of reality back to where I feel safe and comfortable, and just choose to work my way out of life's puzzles through the miracle that my mind tells my hands when I type these stories down.

The book that I posted here is but one among the many I still have in my head.  Fantasy, Science Fiction, Middle Grade Fantasy, Suspense, Manga, you name it.  When will I finish them?  Only time can tell.  But the first thing that I want to accomplish is to complete the set for this entire story.  After that, it's up to me which comes next.  I just wish that I'll be able to entertain people through the stories coming into my head.  And maybe, just maybe, I'll find that peace of mind I'm looking for once I'm done telling the tales assigned to me.

Enjoy the story, feel free to share.  Just be mindful to respect the rights of the author by refraining from claiming the book as your own.  I posted it free here on Wattpad, but you can show your love and support by purchasing an ebook copy through my Smashwords account: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MarkMarcelo. I'll post an update when the hardbound version is available to purchase through CreateSpace, Lulu, etc.
