The Odd Daily

The Outbreak Of The Unknown

Hwang Hyunjin

July 9, 2018

An international epidemic involving people with odd, inhuman abilities has struck the lives of people all over after a video went viral on Twitter just a few days ago.

On July 5, just four days ago, a video of a young teenage boy went viral after it depicted a scene of the teenager plunging into a tub of "holy water" and it "turning to steam before their very eyes."

Witnesses of the scene described it as "unholy" and "demonic in every way," before they burst into tears of horror. Never had they seen such a thing and they repeatedly spoke of the teenager as if he was the anti-christ himself.

His parents were similar in their responses, "He was on the brink of insanity when we got him to the church. It wouldn't surprise me if he had been possessed by the devil, and if that's the case... then there isn't any hope left for him."

However, this is not just a religious outbreak or a one-time event. Videos and reports of people with similar abilities such as freezing objects, shooting sparks out of their hands, and fire rolling off of their tongues have spiked in the last two days and police are working their hardest to get answers.

In light of all of this, police are looking for the teenage boy in hopes of finding answers, but are rounding up people with these strange abilities in the process out of fear.

Just yesterday, 25 people were rounded up in Seoul alone when they were believed to have possessed these strange abilities. Police have asked those who witness these people to not approach them and to call the police right away.


However, people are outraged by the rounding up and are fighting both court cases and police physically to let their friends and family go. "This is outrageous! We should not be acting so aggressively because we are scared!" a father of a young 5-year-old son taken from his classroom after demonstrating a certain ability claimed angrily.

Please stay safe in these rough times.
