"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

Everyone kept staring at me with flickers of emotion. I told them my decision to be used as a lab rat. I made up my mind and there is no going back. 


I leaned against the wall gauging their reactions. John was the least surprised of all, Carlos looked so conflicted, he looked like he didn't want to hold me back and also like he didn't want me to go. Stacey's expression was unreadable. 


"My Ma needs my help and I also need her help. What if this antidote is the one we've been waiting for and I get cured?" 


"What if it's not and you get killed?" Stacey said suddenly. A look of horror was etched on her face. 


"Are you sure this is what you really want to do? We can find another way to get her out" 


Stacey added reaching out to me and placing her hand on my shoulder.
