Welcome to our story.

I am not human. I am superhuman. My senses are heightened and my reflexes are faster than any human on our planet. But I am not the only one. There were more of us and one time but nothing ever lasts. I do not remember what happened and I barely understand why but there is one who does. I will speak through what he has shown me of that day. That day of reckoning . . .

Light travels faster than sound but to me everything moves at the same time. Others do not hear the storm before it comes, but I do. First come the bombs, destroying our land. Next come the guns, destroying our people. It’s all chaos, homes burn, women and children lay where they hit the ground, and blood melts through the dirt creating mud. Soon, our men attack; moving faster and quicker than the humans . . . and we fight. We fight like dogs, sliding in the blood mud and slaughter our brothers. Desperately, I try and save the ones who cannot defend themselves. As I go I try to refrain from killing, but I am still part human and with that comes the greatest curse of all . . . bloodlust. It takes over me like a disease and suddenly I feel anger and hate. I can smell the blood and hear the screams as if they where on an amplifier. How could they do this? How could they commit massacre? Questions I could not answer and soon questions I couldn't care less about. I do not know how many I killed but I remember every face.

As we fight I see my leader, Kaiden, atop a small rise defending our people. I also see him die. His wife, Mariah, rushes to his side, but is killed. The next five minutes was the end of my people and my home. It all ended as quickly as it began. I hid from the human solders as they pilled up the dead to be burned; when they left I watched the bodies of my fallen people burn to ash. Around me stood skeletons of homes and buildings, white snow began to fall, turning red as it hit the bloody ground. Although my body adjusts to climate change quickly, I felt cold and alone. I was now the only superhuman left, the last of a great people.

Humans and their machines, they all think they must own the world.

I AM NOT HUMAN. I AM SUPERHUMAN
