Problema

Katatapos lang ng klase at nagkakagulo na ang mga estudyante sa pagkuha ng kani-kanilang mga gamit para umuwi. Nagkasalubong kami ni Miko at nagkwentuhan.

Nagdesisyon kaming kumain sa baba kaya naman sabay namin tinahak ang kakaibang hagdan ng paaralan. Kinabahan ako dahil medyo tumutunog ang itaas na bahagi ng hagdan. Hindi naman namin kailangang humakbang sapagkat ang hagdan na ito ay "automatic" kaya kumapit ako ng mahigpit sa estribo. Ngunit habang kami ay ibinababa na nito nahulog ang isang bahagi ng hagdan at tinamaan si Miko sa ulo. Bumagsak kami sa sumunod na palapag at dali-dali kong inakay si Miko. Tinulungan ko syang makatayo at hinatid sa ospital kahit ayaw nyang pumunta.

Pagdating sa ospital, habang naghihintay, nagkwento ulit si Miko ukol sa kanyang trabaho. Nahihirapan na siya dahil iba na ang tingin sa kanya ng kanyang mga katrabaho. Mababa raw ang nakuha nyang "rating" kaya lubos nya itong ikinalungkot. Hindi ako kumibo at patuloy lang na nakinig sa kanyang mga sinasabi.

Nung ako ay magsasalita na, napansin kong naroon pala si Ed, taga-ibang section at katrabaho ni Miko. "Ayusin mo kasi ang trabaho, kung pinapriority mo ang mga dapat mong gawin, edi sana hindi ka nagkakaganyan..." wika ni Ed. Nasabi ko na lang "Pwede naman gumawa ng hindi pangtrabaho kapag break time diba?" "Pero yung iba rin naman ginagawa yan...", sagot ni Miko. "Yun na nga ang sinasabi ko...", pagpapatuloy ni Ed. Hindi ko na alam kung san patungo ang sagutan nila. Napansin kong naroon sa harap namin ang isa kong kakilala, si Ely. Iniiwasan ko syang makita at ganun din sya sa akin. Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko ng aking buhok at nag-isip ng paraan kung paano makakalusot sa pagkakataon na iyon.

Nagpaalam ako kina Miko at Ed na pupuntahan ko ang nurse upang kumuha ng form para ipatingin na si Miko. Nakatungo si Miko habang lumalayo ako sa kanila at umiiwas ako ng tingin kay Ely.

Pagdating ko sa nurse station, napunan na nila ang form na kailangan ni Miko. Ngunit nang ibinigay nila ito sa akin, ibang pangalan ang nakasulat at nakalagay pang "American" ang citizenship niya roon. "Hindi ito para kay Miko...", ang sabi ko "...baka ibang tao yan at nagkamali kayo." "Nakita ko kung sino ang kasama mo kanina kaya alam kong siya yan.", wika ng isang nurse.

At nagising na ako.

The Attack

I was not sure to where I should start telling how it went but I guess I should start from my family.

Our family was complete. With my Mom ofcourse, and my sister, we were together. The odd thing is that I hadn't seen her children and his husband. And my Dad was also present although he had passed away years ago. But I felt like the current situation in my dream was not in the past.

Our house was located at a high place. It's as if our house was attached to a huge tree and we are on top of it. And if you will look down, you will have a hard time to see the ground. When you look outside, it's as if we were living in a forest and there were neighboring trees with houses on top of them.

The situation was a bit crazy. Our house was being shaken and part of our wall was damaged. By that, it was opened and the trees outside were clearer to see. Seemed that there was an earthquake.

My Dad was getting equipped with long rods and guns. "Zombies!!!", I shouted and got myself a rod. I was worried about my Mom and prevented her from getting near the damaged wall.

The zombies didn't look bloody at all and they were slowly moving. They looked like Titans, pale and weird. And they were falling from the sky, getting on board our window and the damaged wall.

I was armored with a thick vest protecting my upper body and my arms and legs were also protected by thick moss green clothing.

Grasping my rod, I aimed at a Titan just as my Dad did. They kept on coming and I killed a few. Then a Titan came to enter our house again through the damaged wall. It was getting closer to me so I took another rod and finished it with one blow. The rod struck its stomach but no blood came out and it fell down smiling.

Then, I woke up.
