"We've got to stay alive"

Those were the reasonable last words I heard from Ma as she pulled my hands running through the street. All around us people were running. 

The world was in chaos. A strange gas was in the atmosphere and people were developing supernatural powers. 

Some had telepathy, they could easily read your minds, some had telekinesis, they could easily lift you up from the ground and leave you floating. 

These mutation caused a change in the earths surfaces. The ionosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere was affected.

The water became too hot to drink, the air became to thick, oxygen was gradually depleting.

As long as you are normal, surviving becomes difficult. You are hunted down down everyday. 

Surviving becomes essential and we have to do all we can to survive.

Everything changed for Keturah, when her Mum was taken from her suddenly one early morning. 

As a scientist, and the best the town ever had, her Mum was suddenly wanted when an accident happened and a strange gas was released into the atmosphere causing genes to be mutated and people suddenly having supernatural powers.

Her Mum was taken as she was believed to have the cure. 

For eleven years, Keturah searched for her Mum, hiding in the woods.

She could feel the change from within. She needs her Mum, She needs the cure.

BEYOND THE ORDINARY

There were good days, there were bad days and there were worst days. Today was one of those worst days. 


Apparently, my genes are already disintegrating gradually, it will only be a matter of days till I finally become dust. 


Doctor Tucker said I actually had two weeks to live, but I've lived longer than that because John found a drug which he injects into my system daily to contain the poison. 


Today I felt like crap. The burning feeling was back again. The death grip felt tighter. I felt like I could here every animal talking in the whole universe . My brain was crowded. Death right now would be a very welcoming option. 


Carlo was by my side rubbing my hand slowly, he looked like he was holding back tears. John was running around trying to get the drug to inject into me. We only just discovered this morning that we ran out. 


The drive to the place of supply was really far since we were staying in a very secluded area. So till he returns, I am stuck with this pain.
