"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

As the doctor said, I started developing more powers. At first, it started with light telekinesis, I started lifting object with my hands. It was cool, but it also came with severe pain. 


The pain seemed to be on the increase with each added power. 


With every tick of the clock, my mind kept drifting back to Ma. I had a week till the next antidote is tested out to decide if I want to be whisked away as a lab rat just to see her. That was a risk I was willing to take. I might drop dead anytime soon. 


Recent scans are showing rapid disintegration of my cells. My veins were now slightly more visible and an ugly shade of blue. 


Ashely just bought her last house and built a hotel. She smiled up at me looking very mischievous. 


Carlos ruffled her hair as he rolled his dice. 


We were hanging out in my bedroom, right there on the rug, a large monopoly board was spread out in front of us. 


Carlos tossed his dice after much frivolities.
