《The New Dawn》


 The Accident

    I sat there at my desk, only concentrating on fixating my eyes down, until the bell rings. *Ding* *Ding* I grab my stuff and get out, heading for the entrance. I felt relieved to finally be walking outside and getting some fresh air. I walk along the sidewalk, heading to my house which is about a mile away. 5 minutes into the walk and I spot a little girl walking into the road. She is just strolling casually with no concern about the truck looming closer to her like the grim reaper.


    I notice no one is even looking her way except one distraught parent frantically screaming for her child. I always wanted to be a hero and do something with my life like I read in comic books. I drop my stuff on the spot and kick it into high gear, sprinting for the girl. Closer, closer, I will my legs to run faster and faster until I¡¯m there. With the adrenaline pumping through my body I realize I can¡¯t save us both, so I make a last ditch effort to shove her out the way.


    All I see is nothingnessand in some sort of delirious thoughts. I occasionally hear the few jumbled voices but that all skipped by what felt instantaneous. I slowly open my eyes to scope out my surroundings, expecting to be dead. A bright light blinds me temporarily until my eyes readjust to the surroundings. *Beep* *Beep* That annoying sound that I keep hearing is what looks like the device monitoring my heart rate.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author.

    I look around to see my Mom sleeping on the chairs next to me, my dad should be doing his job on the computer athome. It looks like I¡¯m in some sort of hospital, further inspecting my arms I see lots of stitches. The sight of my own body being damaged like that increases the beeps in the device until I manage to calm down. Shortly after a nurse walks in and is startled to see me awake, she immediately runs off, probably to the doctor.


    I sit there waiting until I see the doctor and nurse come in. My mother wakes up shortly after and starts crying saying, ¡°T-they told me you were probably gonna die!¡± The doctor just glances at her then sets his vision back to me, clipboard in hand. ¡°Alex I presume? Not that you can talk anyway, you are lucky to be alive.¡± He coughs, ¡°You were hit by a truck shortly after saving the little girl, she is alive thanks to you.¡± After hearing that I felt something in my soul that could reach the stars. This feeling was an unstoppable feeling that made me vow to save as many people as I can.

 New Ideas

    It was only a month until I left the hospital, they were surprised by how quickly I healed. I was walking out of the hospital with my Mom and we were about to get in the car to go home to Dad. It was currently snowing outside, I live in Wenrem, which could be said to be the dump yard for the world. It has one of the highest crime rates in the world. I feel so sick of the people in this city that I just want to pound them into the pavement.


    The snow covered the trash that was littered in the streets, the hospital was one of the few safe places that wasn¡¯t really affected by the waste. Ever since I got out of the hospital I haven¡¯t really felt anything, I could feel the little snow landing on my face but it didn¡¯t even feel cold. We got in the red car, preparing to embark. I sat there in the moving car looking out the window, at the patrols of people likely in criminal organizations. One was even beating up a man while the others laughed. Then we arrived home.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    It was a small yellow house that was surprisingly comfortable. We went inside, my Dad was singing in the living room typing intently on his laptop. He just nodded as a sign of our entrance, I sighed and went straight to bed. I was exhausted, and I had a lot of work to do tomorrow.

 Awakening

    I awoke to feel my body a lot lighter than usual, almost as if I¡¯m weightless. I get up and stretch, noticing my body has become a lot stronger and compact, like steel. I look at myself in the mirror, standing at 5¡¯10 I wasn¡¯t the tallest but not the shortest either. I have messy pitch black hair with calm green eyes. I wasn¡¯t bulky but I had muscle there just really compact and tight after I woke up.


    I throw a punch due to this intoxicating feeling of power, the air cuts and knocks over my dresser causing a loud *THUD*. *Knock* *Knock* ¡°What¡¯s going on in there?¡± Calls out mom, ¡°Nothing, it was just an accident don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll ok, be careful.¡± I continue thinking about what I just did, how did my fist create so much power? Is this a side effect of the accident? I wonder, but I won¡¯t find answers sitting like this and neither do I intend to.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.
