Shattered skies: the beginning

summer has come and past.
The innocent can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

-Green Day "Wake me up When September Ends"

Prologue: Who you are

Have you ever noticed how visible some things are? Stars, buildings, other people. Unlike us, humanity doesn't know we exist. Not even our own parents know we exist at all. We died at birth or at least that's what there told.

The only ones who did actually see use were the ones who made us what we are. Freaks nothing more nothing less, just freaks of nature.

Freaks that never really got along with normal people even though we are who we are because of them.

Sometimes we don't even except ourselves for what we are. Understandable, but as long as we are going to be different we have to accept the fact that we are different.

Snow once asked me
"Why did they make us in the first place….why us?"

It took me a while for me to come to the answer and even longer to fully understand the answer.

It's quite simple actually.

We are who we are that's the answer.

You may ask how that's the answer, well I'll tell you. It doesn't matter if we were normal or "freaks." It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you grew up in a house or a cage. What happened in the past and what's happing now doesn't matter. Nothing can change the fact that we are freaks and will always be that way. What does matter is the fact that we are alive, that we might get to be free that matters. That makes a difference. In the end who you are makes a difference.

Even if you spent your entire life in a cage, being experimented on by insane genetic scientists, with way too much time on there hands. That's something we can change, we can breakaway form it all. Because in the end we're all going to die anyway so I'm going to do it. I'm going to do the impossible by starting with the possible. No matter what happens, I'm going to break out of this hellhole.
