First sighting, September 30th, 2020, From Mary Portman,
I saw it! It was a normal day flying around with the jetpacks in the sky when I see something on the ground. On the real ground, not the one with our artificial homes. It was a young man walking around the abandoned streets. I knew no one was allowed down there for fear of radioactive waste left over from the war. I started to yell out to them, but they kept walking down the ash rodes. I actually didn't know the gender of the person but it was probably a boy because only boys where cloaks around their bodies in this world. I kept shouting at the person, trying to warn them of the radioactive waste, but then he started to glow a bright green. I was scared and ran back to my house. I never saw it again.
Second sighting, September 30th, 2023, From Alexa Portmen,
I was just riding around on my hoverbike when I saw a glow coming from the rubble. I broke a law and rode down to earth because at the time I didn't know about the toxic waste. There was a slim woman walking down the street of ashes. I tried to ride my hover bike over to her, but it wouldn't move. Then she began to glow, a bright green color. I asked the person who they where but they just kept walking the ashes of the city, as if they didn't here me. All I remember next is that I woke of from a coma of one year, and that's all I remembered.
Third sighting, September 30th, 2026, From Rachel Portman,
I was riding my hover skateboard near the ashes, even though it was forbidden, and saw a man in a cape walking towards me. His face had three distinct features. Bright green eyes, bright green hair, and bright green flesh. I fled from the person, but they used some kind of wizardry and made me stand completely still. Now, now, he said, time for you to be the next Portman to have a monster. That's all I remember until I woke up from a coma of one year, giving birth to a child named Melody. She grew up a beautiful girl, but always had a cape or hood over her head. She kept to herself most days and but did all her school work and excelled in her classes. Then one day she came to me and asked me about what happened to earth and if anyone still lived there. I was terrified of her. I then sent her away to an orphanage home so she wasn't my problem and I had no monster on my hands.
Dear Diary, September 29th, 2039,
You know who I am, Melody Portman. The one everyone says is a freak. The one who wears capes and hoods to protect everyone. I know about my past, I found out about it online. My mom says I am a monster and I am. Under my capes, I am developing black wings. My hair and eyes are turn more green everyday. Even my skin is too! I am a monster, so I have a plan to run away to earth and find the thing that I am. So today I pack, tomarrow I leave. I'll find out who I am, and who I will believe.
Dear Diary, September 1th, 2041,
I found out who I am. I am one of the people called the toxic haste, we live underground for fear of being spotted by humans. We are mutants, that's why we have wings, the people have beautiful wings underground, no one out here where's there capes except on the surface of the earth. My long, huge black wings are adored by the many boys here that are my age. We have a leader named Rowell who leads us and feeds us. Everything else like clothing and homes we buy from each other. I now date a boy named Roch, and together we play games and buy clothing. We have fun together, even promising to marry each other one day. That's who I am. I am apart of the Toxic Haste.
(OMG SO GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA! IF ANYONE WANTS TO MAKE A PICTURE OF ROCH AND MELODY, I'LL GIVE THEM THE PRIZE OF VOTING ON EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!)
