Elara and I chose the cabin for its isolation. It sat on a ridge above the town of Pinehollow, a place that promised quiet and a view of the mountains...

I never questioned the old lighthouse keeper’s routine. Every evening, at the stroke of nine, the beam would sweep across the salt-crusted rocks, a mechanical heartbeat that had pulsed for...

The Salt Lamp
It was a Tuesday when I finally dragged myself back to my apartment in Manila, my bones still humming with the chill of Baguio. The three-day trip had been a...
The Pixelated Feast
The evening had settled over the apartment like a damp shroud. Rain streaked the windows, blurring the city lights into smears of amber and neon. Marcus leaned back on the...
The Stain That Wouldn’t Bleed
Last Friday, during the annual Harvest Festival at the old Grange Hall, my mother, Clara, was volunteering in the prep kitchen. The hall itself was a converted barn from the...

In the winter of 2019, my family gathered at my uncle’s farmhouse in the rolling hills of Nueva Vizcaya. The house was an old American-era structure with thick adobe walls...
