"We've got to stay alive"

Those were the 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. 

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

My bed was so warm, I felt like staying on it for ever. Today was one of those good days. No pain, at least physically. 


Sweet little Ashley was in bed with me today and we were watching 'Raya and the Last Dragon' on my newly acquired iPad. 


Ashley was curled up beside me and the ipad was propped up against many pillows in front of us. 


I've grown very fond of the young girl. 


When I said those simple words to her "If you need any help, you can come to me", I never knew she would. 


We've bonded a lot over sad stories of our parents, just like Carlos and I bonded over the same pain. 


I looked down at Ashely, her eyes were closed and she was snoring softly curled up against my arm. I smiled. 


I've always wanted to have a younger sister, and fate has given me one. I watched her sleep, noting how different she looked from the first time I saw her. Now, her skin had some color and she looked peaceful. 


I paused the movie and closed my eyes too. I was too tired to continue.
