Superpowered

Prologue

            The car tires screeched as they slid across the New York City pavement. Suddenly the automobile tipped over before doing several back flips onto the concrete. As the car crashed, fumbling across the street, the passengers screamed at the top of their lungs. No air could enter their bodies, no oxygen could escape them. Flames rose around the vehicle causing them to suffocate in their seats. It didn’t help that they were upside down, seeking a way to escape the hold of the vehicle. Their seatbelts wouldn’t unbuckle, there windows wouldn’t break as their fists met the surface. Over and over, the family would bang their fists of fury onto the glass.

            Nothing.

            Not a shatter.

            No help from any neighbors.

            Nothing.

            The family remained stuck, trapped in their ford to never be exposed to the world before them and as gas entered their lungs any individual would think death was bound to come.

            All four members of the Ellis family fatally hurt, dying in a matter of seconds.

            Yet, somehow, by a miracle…

            One survives.
