The Devil Lives in My Friend's Right Ear

“I only wanted to survive a boring class assignment. Not uncover a secret hiding inside someone’s ear.”

Jejomar was just trying to stay awake in Literature class when he got saddled with the last partner anyone wanted: Berto the Weirdo. Known for wild stories, unsettling behavior, and an eerie calm when chaos erupts, Berto isn’t exactly your average teenage misfit. But when a mysterious voice whispers from a place it shouldn’t, and long-buried folklore starts to feel more like fact than fiction, Jejomar begins to wonder if there’s more truth to Berto’s madness than he ever thought possible.

A darkly funny story that explores the blurry line between mental illness, myth, and the monsters we pretend not to see.
