Behind the scene of 1940's (Filipino/Tagalog)

Hong Kong 1940 December Sa kalagitnaan ng tumitinding pangalawang digmaang pandaig ay wala paring tigil ang paroon at parito ng mga tao. Tulad na lamang ng magkapatid na sina Celio at Celia na kasalukuyang sakay ng naglalayag na pampasahirong barko mula Japan patungong Hong Kong. Maraming sakay ang barko na karamihan ay mga sino (Chinese), may mangilan-ngilang kanluranin din. Malaki ang kainan sa loob ng barko na halos puno na rin sa tanghaling iyon. Sa isang sulok na mesa ay makikita doon na nakapalibot ang limang ginoo na pangkanluranin ang kasootan. Dalawa sa mga ginoong iyon may mala mais na buhok, mapuputing balat at namamaga pa ang pisngi dahil sa lamig ng panahon kagaya ng isa pa na ang ipinagkaiba lang ay ang itim na buhok. Ang dalawang pang ginoo naman ay parihong may itim at kulot na buhok, maputi din ang mga ito marahil ay dahil sa matagal na pamamalagi sa kanlurang lupain, hindi nga lang tulad sa tatlo kanina na halata ang lahing kastila at amerikano. Masaya silang kumakain na animoy walang kagulohang nagaganap. May kung anu-anong pinag-uusapan na minsan ay nagkakatawanan pa. Marahil ay nakasanayan na lamang nila ang putukan, bumbahan at iyakan dahil sila ang mga sanggol na isinilang sa magulong panahon. At ngayon sa panahon ng kanilang tagsibol ay papaano nila gagampanan ang pagiging pag-asa ng bayan? "Nakakahiya mang aminin ngunit sasabihin ko parin." Wika ng isa na may mala mais na buhok na nagngangalang Alfredo Diaz. "Sa iyong kaanyuan ngayon ay mukhang higit ka pa yatang mas magandang lalake kaysa sa amin ginoong Celia." Sumang-ayon naman ang tatlo habang patuloy ang masayang kaninan. "Ang pangit kasi, mas pagkakamalan pa akong babae kaysa sa kanya eh." Pagbibiro naman ng kapatid ni Celia na si Celio at napahalakhak ang mga kasama nilang mukhang mga kanluranin ngunit sa pilipinas isinilang at may lahing malaya. "Nagsalita ang sampid." Banat naman ni Celia na kasalukuyang nakaayos ng panglalake dahil napagkatuwaan lamang nito. "Ako sampid? Kala pala ang gwapo ko." Sinabayan pa iyon ni Celio ng malakas na tawa pati narin ng mga kasama nila kaya naman ay nagtinginan sa kanila ang iba pang naroon na kumakain din. Nagkasabay naman na siminyas ng katahimikan sina Manuel Revera na may mala mais ding buhok at Robert Taylor na siyang nag-iisa sa kanilang may lahing kano. "Bukas ng umaga ay dadaong na ang barkong ito sa hongkong, may pupuntahan pa kaming tatlo kaya baka hindi na kami makasabay sa inyong magkapatid pauwi." Seryosong pahayag ni Robert. Natigilan naman si Celia dahil ibig sabihin niyan ay hindi na niya makikita ang matagal na niyang hinahangaan (daw) na walang iba kundi ang makisig na si Robert. Ano bang pwedi niyang gawin? Nais niya pang makasama ito ng matagal. At hindi niya pa nakukuha ang kailangan niya dito. "Nako tamang-tama lamang iyon dahil nais din namin ng kapatid ko na mamasyal muna sa hongkong." Pagdadahilan ni Celia na sasalungatin sana ng nakababatang kapatid na nasa tabi niya, mabuti na lamang at tumingin muna ito sa kanya, at sa tinginan ng magkapatid ay nagkaintindihan sila. "Wala kaming kakilala dito sa Hong Kong, baka pweding sumama narin kami sa inyo?" Nagkatingin ang tatlo, halata sa mga mukha ng mga ito ang hindi pagsang-ayon sa sinabi ni Celia. "Ah kasi..." Hindi naman alam ni Alfredo kung ano ang dapat sabihin. "Kung hahayaan mong sumali si Celio sa amin ay pwedi namin kayong isama." Si Robert ang nagsalita. "We're not going there just for fun." "I can't let him join that secret org of you people." Pagtanggi naman ni Celia. "Bakit hindi nalang kaya ako ang pasalihin niyo?" Natawa ang mga ginoo sa winikang iyon ni Celia. "Ayaw mong pasalihin si Celio pero gusto mong isali ang iyong sarili?" Pagpapalinaw ni Manuel kay Celia.

One of the best trippy graphic novels is 'Watchmen' by Alan Moore. It has a complex narrative structure and deep, thought - provoking themes that can really mess with your mind. The unique art style also adds to the overall trippy feel. Another great one is 'Sandman' by Neil Gaiman. It's full of surreal and dream - like sequences that take you on a wild journey through different realms of existence. And 'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace, although not strictly a traditional graphic novel, has elements that are so complex and mind - bending it could be considered in this category.

Trippy fiction books tend to break the rules of traditional storytelling. They may use experimental writing styles. For example, 'House of Leaves' has a very unique layout with footnotes and different typefaces that add to the overall disorienting effect. These books also often have a sense of the uncanny or the otherworldly. Characters might encounter things that are beyond their understanding, like in 'The Master and Margarita' where the devil shows up in Moscow. And they can play with the reader's perception of reality, making you question what's real and what's not.

One characteristic is the unexpected twists. In 'The Veldt', you don't expect the children's relationship with the virtual nursery to turn so dark. Trippy short stories also tend to have unreliable narrators. Take 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the narrator's sanity is clearly in question, and his view of events is warped. And they usually create a sense of unease or confusion. In 'The Lottery', the whole concept of the lottery is so strange and the reactions of the townspeople are so nonchalant that it makes the reader feel off - balance.

Well, there's a trippy scary story of a mirror. A girl noticed that every time she looked into her old antique mirror, her reflection would blink at a different time than she did. As days passed, the reflection started to look more distorted and menacing. There's also the story of a bus ride. A passenger boarded a seemingly normal bus, but as it drove on, the other passengers' faces started to melt and the bus seemed to be driving into an endless void. And then there's the story of a family who moved into a new home. Their little son kept talking to an 'imaginary friend' who turned out to be a malevolent spirit that haunted the house before they moved in.
