Power War

Jakob walked through the streets, the lamps were now his only source of light. The streets were not as safe as they used to be. Now there were Mutes, Crazies and humans who didn't understand, only naming a few. Due to the war there were piles of rock, metal and glass where buildings used to be. Other buildings were still intact with people living in them, but everyone was cautious and most of the time you only see lights coming from the lower windows of the building for easier escape in case of emergencies.

Jakob's feet now no longer touched the ground. He looked down and the sidewalk was getting farther away from him. Lifting himself over the debris wasn't very hard, but he couldn't stay airborne for long. He had to descend as his body became weaker and the ground, closer. As he slowly, gently made contact with the ground once more, he heard a few screams from the distance.

This was his queue to leave. Fast.

He started to run and his surrounding were slowly becoming blurry but not enough to where he couldn't see where he was going. Time slowed for him when he ran like this, he felt free, even though deep down he knew he wasn't. No one was anymore.

There were times when Jakob's mind would wander to when there was no virus, no death, no crazed Psychs running around. Before any of the abilities started appearing. Before the loss of his parents.

He could still remember his mother's smile. It made you feel warm, like nothing was ever wrong. It could make the grumpiest old man have a good day. But what was always the most striking of all, was her hair. It was a light chocolate brown, long and had curly waves all through it. Unlike his father who started getting grey hairs in his late thirties, his mother's hair was flawless. Not a grey hair to be found. This always made her look so much younger than she really was. Too bad her personality wasn't as good as her looks.

Jakob could never see her or his father again. He thought maybe it's for the better. Even he didn't want to live in this world anymore, if at all. This new world had changed him and everyone else into something they never expected.

The end of all humanity.
