Extraordinary Sickness (on hold)

This is a story of a silent city, in the possible future of our own. Indifference creeps through the streets like a lonely dog, and it feeds off of each and every one of us. It is a disease that crippled us, shutting off each town from the rest of the world. There isn't much left for us when apathy has the fatal strength that it does.
It's all so human. All so much like what our souls really hold.

Here is the puzzled and tired Mena Darson, knee deep in literal and theoretical insanity. To be honest, she doesn't really care whether the cities are connected anymore, or if things could be better. She only wants an escape, a cure for the stupid craziness we all developed.
An unknown kid, a little kid barely a ten-year-old, walks the same earth. He walks it with one power we all forgot. Awareness. Authentic thoughts, and awareness.
But can one kid be enough?

Sometimes, however, truth can be more fatal than the carefully woven lies. But living in what's supposed to be blissful obliviousness is nothing compared to the bitterly coveted truth.
