In the bustling streets of Quiapo, Manila, Dr. Bettina Delgado has built a quiet life as a psychiatrist-yet she harbors a secret: a psychic ability she calls the static. When she touches someone connected to unresolved trauma, she sees fragments of the past-visions that reveal truths too dangerous to ignore.Her world is upended when she meets Therese Ezekiel, the emotionally fragile daughter of powerful Senator Henry Ezekiel, undergoing the controversial Geneva Protocol to chemically suppress her memories. As Bettina's visions reveal a history of abuse, manipulation, and generational corruption, she uncovers a terrifying reality: Therese is not just a victim-she is a pawn in a family dynasty built on stolen lands, hidden crimes, and deadly vengeance.Bettina soon realizes she alone knows the full scope of the danger-Sylvia Ezekiel, the elegant, calculating matriarch, orchestrated the murder of her own husband, and no one suspects a thing.The Glass Window is a taut, psychological thriller of memory, betrayal, and power, exploring how the past shapes the present-and how confronting buried truths may be the only path to survival. Berns Pen writes literary and speculative fiction that explores belief, power, and the fragile line between faith and control.His stories dive into philosophical questions about morality, identity, and systems that shape human behavior-often placing ordinary people inside extraordinary moral dilemmas.Blending symbolism, realism, and speculative thought, his work speaks to readers who enjoy fiction that challenges assumptions rather than offering easy answers.When not writing, he explores ideas at the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and human resilience.
