Broken Emotions

The New Drift

Emma sipped her tea quietly. Like she didn't have a care in the world. Almost as though time was at her mercy and I wasn't here. 

"Well," Emma said after placing her cup on the saucer. "Let me explain what's going on. As I said we are DRIFT. We were a special disaster recovery section. During the war the government took notice of people with interesting talents using only their minds. They decided to study them and try to use it towards their advantage. So after years of studying these people they decided to build a new generation of people who could control these unusual powers. And that's where DRIFT was born. They took in orphans and tested with each one to see if they were compatible with the system. If the children weren't they had their memories wiped and were sent back to the orphanage. The few that did pass went through serious training and teachings to have full control over their brain. Despite all their efforts they only succeeded in having one child completely master the talent. Why you ask? A young pair of scientists after coming here thought that everything here was cruel, and it was. The couple stole two of the test subjects and fled the area. Later on the rest of the children revolted and gained control over DRIFT. Many tried to live normal lives after the revolt but some could never adjust. They could help feeling like freaks and outcasts so they decided to put what they were taught to use. They created a new DRIFT but this one like a game. It was a game of wits and battle strategy. In the end the greatest mind would win. And this slowly progressed into the modern DRIFT games you see today. I am Telling you all of this because we are the children who were the test subjects for the government. And you and Caleb were the two boys who got away."
