In the beginning humanity and energy lived as one. Humanity harvested pure matter from the environment to feed this energy and in return this energy gave the host an unique ability to help it survive, this symbiosis was called "The Connection", but there is one weakness to the connection. 
        The lack of Original Creativity. As humanity grew more prosperous and advanced in culture, so did the Connection. Life on Toreoth was ideal, until the social hierarchy collapsed. This collapse was caused by humanity, which had expended all of its original creativity. With this loss humanity lost the Connection as well. Hope has seeded itself in the minds of humanity again, every decade 20 lucky souls have an original idea or thought which establishes The Connection within them giving them an ability similar to the idea of a super power. 
	The 50th cycle of 20 souls has been interrupted by a kid named Zach and he has no idea that he is the last Connection that is tied to humanity's survival.

The Connections

Zack could see the bread in the crate on the back of the truck. He snuck closer using the moving shadows as cover. With his cloak covering his face he had no fear that someone could recognize him. He crept closer to the truck bed and with swift hands he snatched a crate from the bed and ran. Zach had been stealing bread from caravans that passed through his village for months now.


    With a screech the truck stopped and the passenger side hatch flung open and the guy inside ran after Zach. The man from the truck was faster but Zach knew the paths of Chapin better and he quickly gained the advantage. It was not long before he had shaken his pursuer and he had run into an alcove between two shacks. With his modeled gray/green cloak he melted into the shadows and was gone.


    He had grown up in Chapin on the streets. His family was nonexistent to him for as long as he could remember. Zach had turned 17 a month ago and is living on his own in a government shack that was issued to all people in Chapin; the outskirts of Trillith the capital of Torroth.
