[Unavailable] is a collection of poems about grief that never found a language.The work follows the slow accumulation of pressureacademic, social, and emotionaland the ways constant evaluation reshapes how a person learns to exist. These poems move through depression, trauma, girlhood, shame, and survival with attention to what is often dismissed as manageable, normal, or not severe enough to name.Much of the collection is concerned with silence: the kind that develops as a form of self-preservation, the kind that is rewarded, and the kind that is later mistaken for resilience. Themes of comparison, social media scrutiny, and emotional neglect appear not as commentary, but as conditionsbackground forces that quietly influence identity and worth.[Unavailable] does not argue for healing or closure. It observes what it means to continue living with experiences that were never fully acknowledged, and with grief that remains unresolved.Written for readers drawn to dark, introspective poetry, this collection speaks to those who have learned to endure quietly, and to anyone who has struggled to articulate what was never given space to be understood.

Ebenezer shut off the recording. He closed his eyes, face-palming himself. What fools we were. We thought we could save this planet by creating a world in cyberspace for dinosaurs to live.instead, weve created a deleterious monster almost worse than the Wipeout Cloud.He looked over his shoulder, heart wrenching as he saw the two broken Mu Necklaces the one that almost killed him this morning, and the one that almost killed Celia the other night. Perhaps Auldwin was right.perhaps we should have never created Dinobots in the first place.

We emerged from a box on a long, wooden table in a dimly-lit room. We turned to see a long line of boxes to our right and left. We saw Lazarais tail disappear into a box, 9 boxes to our left.Lula and I swirled overas we passed over the boxes along the way, we noticed they each led to different Pocket Worlds of indoor and outdoor areas. I raised my eyebrow at the box containing a Pocket World of a highway where many beds on wheels traveled around, each carrying sleeping ferrets.I gasped as I passed over the box containing a junkyard full of enflamed gothic ferret dolls that reminded me of Valladonnas dolls.

We live in a time when outrage travels faster than truth, volume is mistaken for virtue, and emotional reflex has replaced moral reflection.The Age of the Tantrum is a collection of philosophical essays examining how modern cultureshaped by technology, tribalism, and performative certaintyhas drifted away from wisdom, humility, and restraint. Rather than arguing from ideology, the book asks deeper questions:What happens when a society loses the ability to pause, reflect, and listen?What replaces courage when conformity becomes safer than conscience?And how did adulthood itself become optional?Drawing on history, psychology, faith, and lived experience, these essays explore themes of moral erosion, collective immaturity, and the quiet cost of surrendering personal responsibility. Yet this is not a book of despair. Beneath its critique is a steady insistence that renewal is still possiblethrough truth spoken calmly, courage practiced quietly, and character formed when no one is watching.Written in a reflective, lyrical style, The Age of the Tantrum invites readers to step out of the noise, resist the pull of reactionary thinking, and rediscover the discipline of thoughtful adulthood.This book is for readers who feel something is deeply off in the modern momentbut still believe clarity, conscience, and hope are worth defending.

In the quiet dawn of March 2025, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arresteda once-defiant leader now bound for The Hague to face the International Criminal Court. This seismic yet subdued moment opens Beyond Tokhang: Truth, Power, and the Reckoning of the Philippine Drug War, a rigorous chronicle of one of the twenty-first centurys most divisive campaigns.Written by a part-time resident and independent observerneither activist nor outsiderthe book draws from years immersed in Philippine neighborhoods. Relying on official records, human rights reports, whistleblower accounts, and conversations with everyday Filipinos, the author presents a balanced, evidence-based account. Allegations are carefully distinguished from facts, supporters views sit alongside critics, and sensationalism is steadfastly avoided in favor of clarity and fairness.The narrative traces Dutertes rise from Davao Citys "The Punisher," where tough anti-crime measures earned both praise and early accusations of extrajudicial killings, to his 2016 presidential victory on promises to "kill them all." It examines how loyalty-based appointments, a tight inner circle, and the rise of Diehard Duterte Supporters (DDS) entrenched his power, fueled by public exhaustion with corruption, inefficiency, and rampant crime.Central to the story is Oplan Tokhang, ostensibly "knock and plead," but in practice a decentralized campaign of lethal force. Opaque watchlists, nighttime raids, and the repeated "nanlaban" justificationclaiming suspects fought backmask a blurred line between police operations and vigilante violence. Motorcycle-riding death squads and alleged kill quotas deepened the shadow. The toll is stark: death counts disputed between official tallies and independent estimates in the tens of thousands; high-profile youth killings like that of Kian delos Santos; disappearances; and custodial deaths amid overflowing jails. Victims were overwhelmingly urban poor, their lives upended by poverty, leaving families fractured and communities silenced by fear.The book probes deeper, linking methamphetamine addiction to structural desperation in a low-wage economy. Failed rehabilitation promises, blurred distinctions between users and dealers, and neglected prevention contrast sharply with public-health successes elsewhere, such as Portugal and Thailand. Recovery, the author argues, demands systemic compassion over punishment.A parallel war unfolded in the media: the shutdown of ABS-CBN, legal harassment of journalists, red-tagging, and a state-sponsored disinformation machine of troll farms and algorithm-driven echo chambers. Euphemisms sanitized violence while nationalism deflected foreign criticism.Global reaction laggedmuted ASEAN statements, slow UN processesuntil the ICC case, launched in 2017, survived withdrawal and culminated in arrest. Domestic probes faltered amid institutional paralysis.Today the nation remains split: regional loyalties, generational divides shaped by social media, and active revisionism threaten historical memory. The book concludes by contemplating the trial aheadits possible outcomes, needed reforms, and broader lessonswithout forecasting verdicts.In an age of contested truths, Beyond Tokhang offers an indispensable record. It insists that genuine justice is collective: a summons to remember, confront, and heal, before silence writes the final chapter on a war that profoundly scarred a people.

I peered around the corner, gazing down at the spacious, shiny hall. I could hear Gwyneths melodious, hypnotic humming. Her voice had a nasally-snobbish edge to it, yet it still sounded so elegant and captivating. Despite my default melancholic frown, there was a glimmer of intrigue and yearning in my eye.It was very rare to spot Gwyneth among these Isles. Which was strange, since Gwyneth was so expressive and so bombasticboth in her films and in real life.I longed to see her. I wanted to be in her stunning, eye-catching presence, so that she could lay her beautiful, suggestive eyes on me and run her fingers through my hanging tuft of head-furSuddenly, the entire place transformed into a luscious botanical garden full of botanical ferrets and glimmering statues. I gasped, realizing I was now peering from around a tree, rather than a golden wall. There were flower petals falling from the tree above me, each one a different shape and color.The place was also filled with hovering giant cards, many of which were displaying colorful cartoon-like ferrets.

The world did not end in fireit ended in calm.In a society where peace is mandatory and emotion is regulated, silence has become the highest civic virtue. Grief is treated as instability. Anger as contagion. Love as risk. Under the watchful routines of order and restraint, life continues smoothlyefficient, quiet, and hollow.Under the Imposed Calm follows an ordinary citizen navigating this engineered serenity, where compliance is not enforced through violence, but through habit, paperwork, and the gentle erosion of feeling. As small disruptions begin to surfacemoments of memory, intimacy, and doubtthe protagonist is forced to confront a dangerous truth: in a world that forbids unrest, remaining human is an act of rebellion.This is a literary dystopian novel about repression without spectacle, resistance without slogans, and the quiet terror of a society that no longer knows how to mourn. It asks a haunting question: if calm is imposed, what happens to the soul beneath it?
