"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

I woke up to the sun burning my face; I opened my eyes slowly to the glaring light directly on my face. 


I opened my eyes and looked around the room, the events of the previous day blur on my mind; I realized that I was alone. 


I immediately thought about Ma and the thought had me flying out of bed. As soon as I got out of bed I headed towards the door, that was when I started to hear the heated voices, it seemed people were arguing about something. 


I decided to check out what was going on. 


I walked to the door, I was about to open it when I heard my name from outside and it sounded like Cathy's voice, she was talking so low but I could hear everything she said. I paused and listened. 


"…you cannot go ahead with the testing, just give us the document let's try to make a working antidote. That's not too difficult to ask" she sounded like she was about to cry
