MULA SA PATNUGOT
Ngayong Buwan ng Pagmamahalan
"Habang ang karamihan sa atin ay nagpaplano ng date (at nag-iipon ng pera) para sa kani-kaniya nating kinakarir, ang ibang mga tao rito sa ating munting arkipelago at sa ibang bahagi ng mundo'y ipinagdiriwang ang kani-kanilang pagmamahal para sa mga bagay tulad ng kalayaan, pagkakapantay-pantay at ang walang kamatayang kapayapaan."

PANALANGIN
Panalangin Para sa Kapayapaan
Ni Tito Guingona
"Mahal na Panginoon sa Langit,
"Ako ay isang Pilipino. Karamihan sa aking mga kapatid na Pilipino ay mahihirap. Mayroon silang mayamang lupaing binubuo ng pitong libong isla. Yamang dagat, matabang lupa, ngunit nananatiling mahirap at salat sa pagkakataong umunlad."

MAIKLING KUWENTO
Coronet
Ni Rodolfo SB. Virtus Jr.
"Tumayo naman ako at lumaya sa kinauupuan ko. Sa paglaya ko, may pakpak na sa aking likod na nagpagaan sa aking pakiramdam. Ayoko nang alamin kung saan niya 'ko dadalhin. Sa buwan kaya? Wala sa aming makakakita doon. Kahit saan basta hindi sa Coronet. Hindi sa madilim na sulok ng Coronet."

Intellectual Mass Starvation
Ni Vlad Gonzales
"Hubo't hubad na ang apat na bida. Ikaw nama'y nakababa na ang short at brief na suot, hanggang tuhod lang para madaling mahatak paitaas kung sakaling may magising na kapatid. Nakaluhod ang dalawang matadero sa tapat ng ulo at puwitan ng nakatuwad na Snow White. Malakas na ungol ang sagot ng babae sa mga aring nakasuksok sa bibig at likuran nito. Ang ikatlong matadero, nagsasalsal pa rin, tulad mo."

Asocide
Ni Rozmon Tuazon
"Lumingon siya sa kanyang kaliwa, sa counter ng Foreign Transactions. Sa halip na matagpuan niya roon ang kanyang katrabahong si Fely, may Pomeranian na hindi mapakali sa upuan ng babae, suot ang kanilang uniporme. Kinakahulan nito ang mag-asawang Rotweiller sa labas ng counter. Iniligid ni Ricky ang kanyang titig. Ang guwardiyang si Jonas, naging English Bulldog. Si Eddie, paglabas ng kusina, lumulundag-lundag na puting askal. Si Edith, na nakabalik na rin sa kanyang mesa, nagmukhang Collie. Ang naghihintay sa sofa, isang French Poodle."
