Over the past few days, I’ve been feeling rather nostalgic. An ordinary day-to-day object sparks a memory from some years ago and I find myself lost in thought, thinking of things and people who came in and out of my life. Those who stayed, who left and those I decided to push away.
I suddenly find myself reading through old blog entries, reminiscing and wondering at the same time. I guess I’m just plain hormonal. Anyway, I leave you with a good read, one of my favorite short stories from way back college – The Dead Stars.

I also love ‘Dead Stars’ by Paz Marquez Benitez. It’s one of the handful of Filipino short stories that easily come to my mind. Its title, ‘Dead Stars’, declares what the story is all about in just two sentences. Definitely it’s one of the best titles of any story.
Thanks for the link. I’d love to read it again.
I made a mistake in my previous comment.
“Its title, ‘Dead Stars’, declares what the story is all about in just two sentences.”
I meant in just two words… not sentences. Stupid me.
