It was his turn to walk down to the corner store and buy the beer. The big game was about to start. Jason left the apartment a normal twenty something with a pocket full of one-dollar bills from the guys and a mysterious artifact he dug up in the field next to the apartments the day before, which he planned to show his college professor on Monday. Little did he know that within the next few hours, Jason would be running from demons, who crawl up out of the ground, with his favorite erotic starlet, Penny Tickles, and rubbing an artifact that only seems to grant one wish every twenty-four hours.

In this BL Comedy, we have the Dark Lord Asmodeos and the hero Peter, who meet in a thrift store. Both of them eat ramen to survive, both of them want to strike it big. And so, their journey of love and tax evasion begins. A journey which sees them making a mess of things, but most of all, of their own lives. The only thing which is unclear is why the gnomes have to pay for their poor life choices. But the small green-haired creatures won't suffer the duo for long... Tax evasion... not even once.

Working in El Pacifico, a country club with only male members, will do her great favors: getting over her jerk of an exboyfriend and seeing Jin, her college crush who now works as a doctor in the island.

Naiiyak na natatarantang lumapit si Glezee dito. "Sir, pwedeng pakiss? Sa cheeks lang promise!" Ang akala niya ay tatanggi ito kaya handa na siyang magnakaw ng halik sa pisngi nito. Ngunit ganoon na lang kabilis nawala sa tamang sirkulasyon ang puso niya nang eksaktong lumingon ito sa kanya habang inilapit niya ang mukha sa pisngi nito. And that's how her lips met his. Oh di ba ang saya!

A dusty book on a wooden table was flipped open by wind and it took us back to 1302 when everyone in the Kaura empire was celebrating the arrival of the triplets Queen Sadiya gave birth to which two were boys and one was a female. They were named Muhammad, Adam and Sadiya. As she said, she didn't care about the title of Queen mother so to respect her wishes, she pleaded the title go to Queen Halima and it did. Disaster struck as before she could feed any of her babies milk, her soul was taken away by the Creator. The Queen mother was already aware that would happen as her royal astrologer's words always........

The poems correlate to personal and world problems that almost everyone can connect with; some poems are humorous and are metaphors toward inanimate objects. A few poems are dark and twisted while others are pure imagery, relating to and bringing light toward objects and ideas.
