"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

I was dragged into a room. I couldn't see a thing because of the large sack over my head. I heard voices that hushed as soon as I stepped into a room. 


I felt footsteps approaching I tried to use my sense of directions to know exactly where the sound was coming from. 


The person suddenly stopped walking in front of me. 


"Remove the sack. We need to see what we're working with" someone said. 


The sound of heels clicking against tiles was the only sound in the room. 


The sack over my head was immediately yanked away and I had to close my eyes to shield them from the blinding light. My eyes remained shut. 


"Are you sure she is a mutant? She looks kind of normal" another voice said. 


"She is, we had her tested" One of the men holding my arm replied. 


"Take her to the room, we'll have the antidote tested tomorrow" another voice spoke.
