The Defects

It is the year 2095, in the aftermath of World War Three: a catastrophic event that made most of the world completely uninhabitable due to destructive nuclear warfare. The only place left that has adequate living conditions is Megapolis, and the countryside surrounding it, in the former United States.

Scientists working for the government have recently discovered a rare genetic mutation, which they believe is caused by high amounts of exposure to nuclear radiation, as it has never been seen before. Those who inherit the mutation have powerful, magical capabilities, varying greatly from person to person. The government has labeled such people as 'Defects', and views them as a threat to their rule; their plan is to hunt each and every 'Defect' down and wipe them all out, as well as turning society against them.

The Defects live in fear, unsure of who they can trust, and many of them are on the run or in hiding with others like themselves.

Not getting caught is a question of life or death.

I'm dedicating this rather mediocre piece of writing to one of my best friends @cmathias18 who is one of the most entertaining and lovely people I know, even though she is never active on here lol
