One night, at exactly 23:11, a stranger sent Jhing Blanco a friend request on Facebook. From then on, every night at the exact same time, this stranger keeps trying to get her attention.

The two strangers gradually became each other’s daily dose of 11:11.

This is an Epistolary novel—which means that a novel is written in form of letters, newspaper clippings, texts, or journal entries; and in this case, 23:11 uses a facebook messenger format…. not until the Second Book: 11/23. <<less

He was tagged as the “campus king.”

He was their university’s varsity team captain and the most infamous bad boy and campus heartthrob at the same time.

LET ME TELL YOU, ALLEN (Sequel)

What is between life and death? I’ve asked this question a lot of times but only one person gave me not the exact answer I’m looking for but the most accurate one.

I met a girl, she met me. And thus said, THAT between life and death is where she led me.

'Ever heard of this painting called ‘The Señorita’? I bet you haven’t. I never thought this painting existed until I visited the bas**ent of the Manila Art Museum.... more>>

It’s a painting of a woman in a baro’t saya, with her back turned to the viewer. I asked the art director about the story of this painting. According to him, this was donated by a wealthy businessman after he lost his wife to an illness. The businessman was an avid art collector and he got The Señorita for an affordable price at a garage sale in Calamba, Laguna. He was obsessed with looking at it every day, until he realized that he was starting to go bankrupt and that his wife fell ill. When his wife died, he gave away the painting to the Manila Art Museum, and now it resides in the bas**ent.'
-anonymous

...

The Señorita, also known as La Señorita.

The said painting seemed old. The colors appeared like they would fade away at any moment. And even its golden frames were giving off signs of crumbling.

Just from the title itself, one would imagine the Señorita as a beautiful girl made into a masterpiece, even immortalized through that said exceptional painting.

However, it was actually hiding a mystery. No one knows about the said painting’s history, especially about the model and its painter. It was also said to be jinxed, never failing to bring misfortune on whomever's hands it would fall to. But, who was the maiden being called the Señorita and are the stories revolving around her true?

Was the painting really accursed? <<less

Dear Diary,

Today, I tripped in the hallway. Nobody seemed to notice, good thing I’m ugly.

-Eya

PS. Just kidding, I was seen and laughed at by Cross, my Bench model schoolmate.

Okay. Now, what? <<less

School of Myths, a school where certain beings study, they were called Mythical Shamans.... more>>

The school was located in a place where no one would be willing to visit. Because this place was believed to be a nesting ground for evil creatures. Though the school and its students were never proven to be real, or maybe they were just made up by a few people who managed to visit the place and came back.

It was even more of a taboo to mention any of these rumors because the people who did discuss what they saw in the nesting ground of the evil creatures vanished one by one and their whereabouts were unknown. Many speculated that they were abducted by the evil creatures who reside in the evil nest and others foretold that they were cursed by the evil creatures because of what they have voiced out about the said place.

And it was then that the place was called “The Den of Evil”, so it was prohibited by the government to visit or even get near the place, because of the dangers that await those that dared go there. Until now the place remained a mystery and for whatever creatures lived in that place. <<less
