Born with Plagues

I slowly opened my eyes in a way that seemed like I was asleep but from the way I felt, it was like I was more than asleep but when I tried to remember what happened to me, I remember nothing, not even my name nor my age, I mean come on is that even possible!?. I looked around me, from the chains that held my hand tightly to the wall to the metal bars lined up in front me, I put one and two together just to realize I was in a cell, "What's the meaning of this " I kept on wondering until I just decided to lay back and think of something, anything that could be of use to me at this moment. Despite how hard it was to think, the noise from the two men outside just made my case wors_ , wait, there were actually people beyond this cell how foolish of I to not have thought about asking them from the start, "Hey there sirs" I called out to the men with hope in my heart but the response I got was actually shocking, "So the 'Red Devil' finally opens his eyes" the first man replies with his hatred towards me broadly showing on his face, "Red Devil?, is that some kind of funny nickname you come up with for your prisoners, well if it is, save it for them cause I'm not included" I said with confidence, "What did you just say" the first man cuts in "I said I'm not a prisoner or has your old age affected your hearing" I replied with annoyance, "just get me the hell outta here and I'll be on my way" "First things first, I'm just in my late forties, secondly its like you gathered quite a lot of nerve these past years you've been like an invalid" the second man says back, wait did the man just say years, an invalid?, "You really need to tell me what's going on here" I insisted, "We're in no obligation to tell you anything, so just shut up, sit back and behave your devilish self!" the man responds with a shout. I was fed up with this two men, their persistence made me angry, I'm not supposed to be here what else do they want to know, and the same men mentioned I've been here for some years now, they know that yet still intend to keep me wasting my life here, how inconsiderate of them. My anger kept on accumulating until I could feel it strangely affecting my surroundings, "Why is it getting so hot in here" the first man complains as he takes of his jacket, "Yeah the temperature is burning" the second man says as he as well takes of his clothing just to get more air. Suddenly, the two men started to hear the sound of hot liquid dropping on the cell floor making them turn their gaze to me, "f**k, he's at it again" the first man says as he feels a lump down his throat, "those were freaking titanium chains!", they both then stumble away from their seats in fear "Speaking of chains were did mine go" I wondered as I looked at my wrist, from the looks of things it appeared it melted down just the way everything thing around me was practically melting down. Due to my little understanding of things, I just concluded it to be a miracle as I stood up from the previously hard but now soft floor, as I start walking to the metal bars, they melt down before I could even reach them, "Hmm, this miracle sure is something" I smiled as I walked further, I could then hear their screams from the edge of the room but when I walked there I could not see anyone and the screaming stopped, it was as if they ran away but little did I know their ashes were beneath me, "so strange". The streets outside the prison building were sure jam-packed today due to the slowness of the traffic, people in their cars grumbled angrily as they impatiently waited for the traffic light that just entered yellow to turn green, but this did not as much as affect the civilians that were on foot as they continued their daily amongst these civilians is a family of two who are currently buying groceries from a*****e, "Mummy I want some ice cream" the child says as he tugs at his mom's handbag, due to no response, he keeps on pulling the hand bag until his mum slaps his hand from the bag, he then sadly gives up. Admist moping, something of interest catches his eyes, he sees a flaming figure melt it's way out of a building, "Isn't that firestorm, or perhaps hit blast, well whatever he is, I bet he's a superhero and has a cool base" he says with amusement as he taps his mum, "Mum look it's a superhero" but she still paid him deaf ears, he then looks at the flaming figure once more, "maybe if I run to him and jump he'll have no choice to catch me like a hero does", the child then begins to run towards the flaming figure. "Isn't that a child approaching me" I muttered as the child races towards me with wide arms, he then suddenly jumps, "what is he doing, better catch him before something happens" I then stretch my arms forward only to hear the boy start screaming, "why is he screamin_" the boy's burnt remains land on my hands. In shock I knelt down while looking at my hands that were now enveloped in flames, it then occured to me there was no miracle, I caused the death of this child and the innocent lives in that building, in sadness tears begin to form in my eyes. The woman is done with buying her groceries and is about to leave but can't find her son, she looks farther from where he stood only to see a kneeling flaming figure that was not burning "Help, it's a flaming monster". Immediately everyone spots me , they are thrown away into panic and I began hearing screams here and there that referred to me as a monster, "Please I'm not a monster, I need help just like you" I pleaded loudly but they keep on shouting, "I just want to live a normal life" a tear then drops from my eyes. Suddenly, the rate at which things were burning increases as well as the radius which widens, people in cars and bikes give up their vehicles as they start running for their dear lives as everything was burning rapidly, those who were unable to escape on time got burnt on the spot. Despite all these things that were happening, one man seemed to be unscathed instead he was just leaning on a wall that immediately burnt down making him loose his balance and fall, he later stands then faces me, "So surprising that it's just this one boy that is causing all this havoc, hmm, they might start coming any moment from now" he then starts walking towards me. On reaching me, he uses his fingers to raise my head up, "Aren't you affected or scared" I asked him with tears still dropping from my eyes, "Sorry but I feel neither of those things" the man replies, "get up and follow me to a better place" "Who is this man" I wondered as I decided to get up, but to my surprise I couldn't move, it was as if the gravity on me increased ten fold, "what's going on?", the man then looks at me and chuckles, "this is just the effect of mine", it then felt as if the more the man looks at me, the more gravity multiplies, "Just who the hell are you" I then asked with confusion as gravity was too much that I was now pressed flat to the ground unable to move even an inch of my body, "Don't worry it'll all be okay" the man replies, but to me it looked like he was saying the f*****g opposite, I could feel myself already loosing consciousness, "Arrrgh" I kept on struggling until my sight went blurry and everywhere went black.
