My name is Ignacio, who is normal
but not very diligent 9th grade boy. I have one older sister whose
name is Catherine. She is 11th grade student, and she is good at
everything. Sometimes, I envy her.
One
day, I found out that I was not a normal person. The thing that I found out
about me is that I can control the thing as the way I want to be. I found this
ability when I was 7 years old. When I was eating mushroom that I really hate, I
just said that when I finish eating this, then I will have my lollipop. I just
thought it might not happen, but when I finished eating mushroom, my mother
gave me lollypop to eat. I was just amazed and after that time, I just tried
some more times. And it worked. If the task was harder, then I needed to pay
more than usual. I thought this was amazing, so I just kept it secret and that
fact was only known by me.
We
were living pretty well until before there was news coming out from the
television. “NASA found out the most tragic information. There had been a
bacteria coming with the meteor last year that crushed in Texas, and that
bacteria is making a disease. The disease’s name is ‘Death Flower’. When you
get this virus, it might seem to be just a cold, but it will make quick change
in your body. There will be a big black flower tattoo growing on your chest,
and after you get that flower, you will die within one week.” We just froze and
looked at the television screen. Behind the announcer, there was catastrophic scenery
going on. People were in despair, crying for the one who already died, and so
on. After the news was announced, school closed, and all factory stopped
working. There was short of supplies in the grocery store, and people began to
fight for food. We gathered some food by luck, and never went out of the house.
I heard that some of my friends started to die one by one. My sister’s friends
also disappeared soon. When we looked out of the window, the street was empty,
and sometimes, we were able to hear some cry for the dead one. Even though we
were in disastrous situation, we just stayed quietly, to keep our food because
there were some people who were stealing food from other people’s houses at
night. However, there comes a situation with lack of food. My sister said me
that she will go out for food. Even though I disagreed with that fact, she just
went out at night. And she never came home for a week.
