Takipsilim
Mga Kuwentong Mitolohiya sa Pilipinas
Available at 8Letters Bookstore
Apoy, tubig, lupa, at hangin – ang mga elementong naglalaro para bumuo ng hiwaga kapag sumapit ang takipsilim.
Hindi ito madalas na nakikita ng pangkaraniwan. May kanya-kanyang kasaysayan na hindi agad pinapaniwalaan.
Pero mag-ingat dahil may sikreto itong mapaglinlang. Mag-ingat sa pakikipagtagu-taguan at magbaon ng sapat na tapang.

Synopsis for "Going Home"
Charm is sitting under a waiting shed after a school day’s work. It is raining, and with nothing else to do, she can’t help but think about her recent breakup with her ex-boyfriend, Michael. She’s in the middle of her reverie when a woman, who has been sitting with her under the shed, opens a conversation – about a myth Charm has known since her childhood. From there, Charm will realize that even the deities faced the same question – can love really conquer all?
“Going Home” is a modern take on the Visayan myth about Alunsina and Tungkung Langit and why there is rain and thunder.
Note: “Going Home” has been renamed to “A Tale of Rain and Thunder” for my standalone short story.
