Introduction

My name is Petra Strorm. When I was younger my brother, Joseph used to tell me. "When i was quite small I would sometimes dream of a city-which was strange because it began before I even knew what a city was. But this city, clustered on the curve of a big blue bay, would come into my mind. I could see the streets, and the uilding that lined them..."(Wyndham 5)My father is Joseph Strorm the most crucial fundamentalist in Waknuk. Waknuk mainly consists of farm land, forrests and some rivers. Near by is the Wild Country, where 50% of living organisms are geneitcally incorrect. After the Wild Country is the Fringes which is basically the habitat of the blasphmies. Last there is the Badlands, which was drastially infected by the nuclear bombed that was dropped eliminating any possible chance of life. My life has been a rollercoaster and it all began when I realized I was different.

Telepathic?

I was born with a rare power, but living in Waknuk it would be considered a curse. I was born with the ability to communicate through my mind. I was born with telepathic powers. My brother told me the story many times, i guess i enjoy listening to it. One day he and the members of the group sensed a call. Not just any call a strong, a very intriguing call. The thought caused him and Rosalind to run as fast as they could to the river bank where my life was in danger. From then on I was a part of the telepathic group which consists of eight. Now nine.

A Bumpy Ride Ahead

When Germone Skinner became suspicious that's when it was time to leave Waknuk. We couldn't risk any suspiciousness, if anyone in Waknuk found out our secret we'd be sent away. Especially a fundamentalist which 99.5% of Waknukians were. That night Rosalind sent a thought-shape to the group, but David was sleepign, uncautious so i had to deliver the news. We fled from Waknuk as quickly as we could. We encountered many mishaps' and people. Although we managed to get captured by the Fringe people. I was more frightened than I've ever been.

Meeting the Cause

When I first met Sophie I was completley confused. I  never really understood the chemistry my brother David and Sophie had. It all was clear when I saw them come in contact, they reacted like two fireworks. They finished each others sentences, that's how i knew when they were younger something signifcant must have occured. Something life changing. Something made me realize that Sophie changed Davids life. She was the first blasphemy David encountered and she dramatically impacted his life. They must have had feelings for one another because Sophie really did not like Rosalind. Sophie helped us, why? Partially because David is so special to her and another reason is because Gordon wanted Rosalind. Sophie already had David taken away from her and she did not want Gordon taken away either. I guess to sum it up; envy is deadly.

The Beginning and the End

Finally, this was it. After all of our work ethic, after all  the suffering, after our treturous adventure we finally were face to face with our future. The Zealand women whom I've been communicating with this entire time gracefully descended from her what looked like a helicopter and greeted us kindly. She was not as  intrested in me as she seemed while i was communicating with her telepathically. That was until we began to depart to Zealand she introduced herself in a chivalrous way and I knew that I was home. When we arrived to the beautiful place Zealand, i couldn't even control my excitment that my thoughts began to scatter everywhere. I apologized to those who could feel my exaggeration but they assured me they were just as excited.  Freedom, is the noun i would use to express my feelings. Free from the Waknukian ways and free from all the rules. I was in a better place which consisted of no boundaries or limits. I was now able to be accepted for who I am and not put to shame. No one knew what the future had held for us, but at this moment i was too estatic to even wonder.
