Chaos Inside A Pen

Author's Note: Danag is spirits that once co-exist with mortals according to the Isneg Folklore in the Philippines. However, their co-existence ended when these spirits soon learn to crave human blood   It was the chilling wind of 5 in the morning that embrace my bones as I step outside for a jog. The surrounding is still dark but thin slits of light are slowly creeping from the east as I decide to take the familiar path that leads towards the green fields of our barrio. For almost 10 years of living in the city with every corner smothered with glitz and glamour, the sight of our village is still the one that my eyes yearn for. The simplicity of the houses that are not competing with their sizes and height. The trees that are more appealing the than the lifeless skyscrapers that look like an oversized tombstone at dusk. And most of all, the greenfield that makes you finally breathe life itself as compared to the stench of smog in the big city that chokes out the life in all of us. ...

  We know our guns are enough only to take down any beast in this forest but something that is way beyond beast nor human is somewhat a suicide for all of us.   Yet we insist to track down the source of the unholy scream since it was actually coming from the direction where our meeting place with the other campers is located. We got a box full of ammo and a 5’7 brawny man in the form of Jonathan whom we need to drag along the way despite his whimpering since we can’t leave him all alone in our campsite.   That’s all we have against whatever we might encounter as we tread the darkness and thickness of this forest that every second we continue going deeper towards its heart, the more we get the feeling that we are plunging ourselves in the entrails of a beast. And at the pit of it lies the doomed that promises the torment that even death will try to evade.   “No! Let’s get out of here! Come on, guys! Please!” Jonathan has reverted into an amalgam of a deranged child as...

  Denzel with his Lolo Vir hasten their way back to the apartment of Cheska as the spectral form of the young girl is like a busted bulb right now as the faint glow from its physique now flickers on and off. Her soul has been separated from her body for too long that Denzel fear that her mortal shell will reject it due to the thinning soul line.   And if worse comes to worst, she will be practically and inevitable become one of the dead.   Upon entering the unit of Cheska, the two will be greeted by Lolo Vic who is now beneath the flesh of Cheska’s body. His having the time of his life right now as he explores the sensuality of a female’s body; a Venus as an old perverted men right under the skin of a maiden that bears the body of an hourglass.   He is about to hit the “sweetspots” that every woman begs to be touched when Denzel suddenly draw a sign of the cross in the air and recited the infamous Roman Catholic rites of exorcism to expel the body of his ...

  “Ugh. What a wasted beauty. She got some good racks isn’t Paulo?” “Affirmative sir. Too bad she’s not warm anymore…” “Bah! Just take some pictures and just do the usual in the comfort room!” The police officers who are the first to arrive in the room of Cheska laugh with their dirty jokes as they a photo of the now lifeless body of Cheska. With her pajamas removed, nearly torn shirt, and a gaping mouth with volumes of drippings on it, it's easy to jump to a conclusion that the one who enters her apartment was aiming for her and not for her belongings. The apartment is perpetually untouched without even a hint of intrusion save by the open doors which also shows no signs of any forceful entrance. “Hey Paulo, once you’ve done with those photos, make some copy of it. I know some who is working on a new porn site who has some fetish with dead bodies. I hope the lady won’t mind her photo being sold around the globe.” Paulo chuckles while listening to her senior. Of course, the dead wo...

But once she grace us with her wavy midnight hair, firm thin lips and big brown eyes of a doll, I wish I did meet her at the church exchanging immortal vows with one another with fluttering hearts and hungry lips. However that night the church was raze by spawn of Satanas; violated and desecrated it with their fetid claws and teeth. That is why me and Prayle Guido, though reeling and trembling from the assault of Malignos, went immediately to Case De Fuego; the famous brothel in town for the lush red paint from its roof down to its wall. This is where Mercedes live together with other puta in our community. “Por favor Mercedes! They will tear down the church if we don’t do something!” Prayle Guido’s face i...

All ears are eager to listen and all eyes are permanently affixed on him throughout the hour of worship. Though not entirely part of any priestly order but claims that he study theology under the supervision of intelligent friars, Padre Lee proves that even without an Abito, an ordinary man can still preach the gospel of the Lord. It only takes one soul whose spirit is stronger against his own flesh. Upon arriving at our town and start serving Missa to the people, everything has change in our secluded community. With his imposing height and natural gift of gab, each words he utter easily penetrate the minds of people of San Roque like a key coated with slick voluminous lubricant...
