The Ring: A Short Story

There are 8 symbols etched on my ring, the one I wear on my thumb. I must admit, the ring was bought out of novelty... it can spin, adding to my already growing list of subconscious mannerisms. My sis made the ring more endearing... in a sudden 'flight of fancy' triggered by a stray comment, she gave meaning to the symbols.

'did you notice the order of the symbols? the sun, the moon, and a star... kinda like what a guy would promise a girl...'

"hinde, ganito yan no, (takes the ring)...

para sayo, aakyatin ko ang pinaka- matarik na bundok...






kahit umulan ng yelo...

o may bagyo man... lahat tatahakin ko."







totoo ang sinasabi ko, tamaan man ako ng kidlat...






kunin man ako ni Lord..."
