HERO

by Shaun Allan

What's your superpower? Everyone has one right? That's why the world is falling apart.

After a cure for a terrible pandemic goes awry, everyone in the world gains superpowers. Everyone, that is, except Thomas. He's the old kind of normal. The kind with no powers at all, which makes him dangerous. Those like him are hunted and killed for sport on the world's biggest game show, broadcast live on television, before they inevitably lose their minds. Aided by his friend Bren, who is unable to comprehend the changes in her own powers, Thomas must find the shocking source of the outbreak, before society falls completely, and he's left completely alone.

But you don't need to fly to be a HERO.
