Long ago, the founders destroyed the borders and formed our nation of Sybila. They wanted to create a perfect society. But there was a problem. Specs, people like me, were never able to fit into their perfect society. We could do things that other people couldn't, like teleport and read the minds of others. They wiped them out. Every last one. Every last one except me. But I've been found out, and I might just die because of it. But Zac (insert last name here), does not give in that easily.
I tear open the white envelope to find a letter from the council.
Dearest citizen,
We have reason to believe that you are affiliated with an act of treason against our society. Turn yourself into the sybilian council tommorow evening to face your termination. Tardiness on your part will result in a heavy fine, and a much more painful death.
Remember,
We can and will find you.
I crumple up the letter and throw it away. Dumb asses. I'm not turning myself in so I can face their 'immediate Termination'.
Don't get me wrong, I could care less If I lived or died. But I can't die just yet. If I died, Erin would die. Thats probably not true, but I need to be here for her. Especially now.
I turn around to see where Erin lay on the couch, pale and hollow. Like almost all the life was sucked out of her, until the beautiful girl I used to know was just a distant memory. But I know how to make her smile like nobody else can. Something only I can do. I raise my arms into the air, and fiery burst of energy shoot from my palms at thousands of miles per hour.
Rings of fire swirl around me and light up the the gloomy darkness of the room. I do this until I bring a genuine smile to her face. "I love you, Zac. Thank you." This is the only reason i'm still alive. These little moments with her that make me feel like my life isn't quite a living hell. If I stay here, I die. If I leave, she might die. So I'm taking her with me. No questions asked. I wrap my arms around her and carry her bridal style out of the small condo. "Where are we going?" I don't answer. I set Erin down in the backseat of my sedan and kiss her forehead. We have a long drive ahead of us.
