5 years ago, a rift opened up in the Atlantic. A bottomless waterfall, radiating light. A day after it opened, the first Gifted appeared. A man with power over the Earth itself, who brought down half a city. Since then, more and more ordinary people go to sleep normal one day and wake up the next to find that they have extraordinary gifts. For them, the planet's governments created schools for gifted children, separate from the others, or in other countries, they outlawed the Gifted entirely. Such is the nature of humanity. But when the Prophecy of Power is revealed to the world, Life's journeys, and its people, may not be as originally thought.

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach.

It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on.

Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep.
