The Specials

The world has been taken over by shadows and pollution. Everything is dead, except in the maze. You see, the government made a maze to keep the normals in. The maze is, well, a maze, with houses, schools, and fresh-air-making factories scattered within, and the last freshwater lake in the middle. The maze is the only place that still has fresh air, except for the place where the specials go. The government keeps secret what happens to them after they rip them from their families. The specials... have... abilities. Once they are revealed to the government, they are taken to god-knows-where. Rumor has it that they are working to fight alongside the government against whatever is outside the maze. Despite the fear, I have always wanted to be a special. But as my grandmother has told me, be careful what you wish for.... or you might just get it.
