The kid in the neighborhood died today. He's probably late teens or early 20s. He used to help us get my cat, Hamanya, off the neighbor's roof. Hindi kami close, but he seemed like a good kid. He was tall and not bad looking.

Kaninang madaling araw daw bumangga yung motor nya sa poste. Mom overheard his elder brother crying while calling out their mom's name. Probably around that time. I saw some monoblock chairs getting arranged on their front yard. Sabi ni Mama, kahapon lang e nag linis yung batang yun ng bakuran nila. 

Ang bilis ng pangyayari.

Hindi kami close, pero ang depressing parin ng atmosphere.

His mom's quite easygoing. She's often having drinking sessions sa bakuran nila hanggang madaling araw. That kid was the one she used to rely on, running errands for her. I wonder how she felt losing her son. Nalungkot kaya sya? Umiyak ba sya? Will she absent-mindedly call his name tomorrow morning to make him run errands, forgetting he's already dead? 

Bakit ang fragile ng katawan ng tao?
