"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

The early morning light stretched across the horizon, painting the sky in soft hues of pink and orange as Keturah drove the team toward John's house. The air inside the car was thick with tension, despite Cathy's attempts to lighten the mood with her usual sarcasm. Maria remained silent, her fingers gripping a transparent vial while Katerine sat beside her, fiddling with a pendant she always wore. 


Last night they finally came up with a plan. They had contacted John and told him the latest development. John was so excited to finally hear from Keturah, he wasted no time in telling them about the dissappearing mutants. He promised to take them there as soon as they arrived. 


Keturah's hands tightened on the wheel as they approached the familiar property with it's huge gates. Her heart was beating faster in her chest at the thought of seeng Carlo again. 


It has been months without any contact will the chemistry still be there?
