"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

Keturah woke up to an unsettling feeling, like a weight pressed upon her chest. With the power suppressor out of her neck she could hear the commotion but she couldn't place exactly what it meant. 


She got out of bed and checked under the bed where she had hidden the documents, they were still intact. She brought them out and tucked them into her clothes. 


There was no time to waste again, Katherine needed to be exposed. 


She immediately stepped out of the room in a hurry. In her haste, she forgot to put the power suppressor around her neck. 


Everywhere was bustling with activities. She ran to the lab. 


As she entered the lab, an eerie silence greeted her. 


She looked through the sea of white as everywhere was cramped with scientists. 


Everybody had their attention focused on a large screen where a journalist was talking. 


Keturah's curiosity piqued, she approached the group.
