The Future: Part 5: Present tense

Part 5: Present tense Two weeks at school and the homework starts piling up into hills. Damon wakes up to the loud siren of his alarm. He lazily gets up from his bed and heads downstairs soon after. He greets his family as he usually does every day without a miss but the only person he does not greet is his elder brother, Nuway. Aside from the usual route to his school, his daily routine sometime changes or so he wants to believe. He just uses another route to school. He wonders if he has any powers like those Naturals.

The Future: Part 4: Effect

Part 4: Effect A newspaper headline shows: PROSTITUTE KILLER STILL ON THE RUN! Many of the locals ignored the news headline, deeming it to be unworthy for them to read. And so, everything went back to how they usually were. “Hey Fira, morning. Did you hear about the ho-ho killer?”, said Damon. “Ho-ho killer?”, confused. “Oh.. The sex worker killer.

Nuway Irons and his partner, Kim Young took the initiative to look into the reports. They entered a run down building operated by parts of the Chinese gang running the area. As they make their way into the building, eyes were on them like vultures preying on their food. It is now a social norm and a standard as well that sex services has been acknowledged as a way for those who unfortunate to gain money to feed themselves. Fortunately for them, the attention which was initially directed at them has now been diverted to the sex workers who were lining up calling all the men to get in between their legs.

One student in particular, Damon Irons walks into the school premise casually while looking to his left and right. “Where are these guys?” “Cepatlah, kang nanti cikgu marah.”, said one student who was rushing. “Holy crap, I’ll get scolded if I’m late again.”, as he too rushes into his class. Damon’s homeroom teacher, Mister Daily entered the class with a gloomy look on his face. (He was always tired and seemed lazy).
