Babbling Point

A copy of a copy I uploaded David's award-winning story in the Alamat e-groups FILES section. Read it and enjoy!

On my way to work, saw a traffic cop with gold handcuffs hanging on his utility belt. Which makes me wonder if gold handcuffs are mandatory in the city of Pasig. I also wonder if they have their version of the Miranda Rights. “You have the right be to spanked like a bad little boy!” Also noticed this car repair shop that had the tagline, “ Kalampag Specialist ”. Which is the quickest way to describe exactly what you do. I mean, drivers like me don’t really know the difference between the engine and the radiator. All I know is that there’s this weird noise whenever my car hits a bump on the road. So, where should I bring my car? To the Kalampag Specialist! Ba-dum-bump! Well, anyway I’m now at work. It’s almost 5pm. My day just begins.

Around noon today, got a call from the Publisher at the Top. We have been officially rejected. I should really be getting used to this. But I don't. Which makes me now wonder if this a sign that we would go for the slave-wages of that other publisher and hope that things will get better. Well, at least we now know what she wants. And maybe, sometime in the future, we'll end up with a comic book title that she'd want to publish. And so, we give it another try.

You know what that means? I still can’t quit my day-job. Meanwhile, CULTURE CRASH and WITCH continue to get sold out. I did see old issues of MEG, when it was still in its handy “pocketbook” size. It was an entire box full of issues from last year. So, I guess I’m not the only one with boxes of back issue. On my way out, I saw a vendo machine that would usually have prepaid call cards, but instead contained Magic cards. The other thing you could get from the vendo machine we’re packs of cigarettes. Who would’ve thought that Magic cards and cigarettes would go together. Talk about being a bad influence on kids. I passed by Timezone, which was mostly empty, expect for the clerks and security guards. But in one corner of the arcade, I saw two girls in their grey...
