History of Strange Powers or Talents

The mysterious powers that appear in my biography are very interesting and few people realize that they actually have an origin. So that is what I will explain today, by giving you a brief history of the strange powers that are found in my world.

The earliest powers originated just before the year 1990 about the time when my parents had just gotten together. There was during this time a terrorist organization bent on the destruction of the United States, naturally, and they were very interesting in using biological weapons to do some serious harm. And when I say Biological weapons I mean actual people. That’s right, this terrorist organization wanted to make people into weapons.

After a nuclear plant meltdown in Russia, the Russian government was well aware of the fact that many of the people who had survived the meltdown, which weren’t many, had strange genetic mutations in their DNA allowing them to do bizarre things.

Things really didn’t start here in the United States until this terrorist organization funded by the soviets started doing little experiments on the United States population. The first experiment was through none other than a barrel of pickles. Nuclear pickles! The pickles’ naturally neon green color would hide any visible traces of the glowing nuclear substances within. Brilliant really, the terrorist mixed these pickles in certain shipments of pickles all over the United States where they would be used in fast food restaurants. And naturally people began to exhibit strange powers, my parents included.

Nobody died from this attack because the nuclear chemicals were tailored to somehow affect only certain strands of DNA that would be necessary to make the powers evident.

These people who were infected first by the pickles became known as the first generation. The most powerful abilities came from this generation such as, telekinesis, laser eyes, turning your skin into metal or diamond, shooting spikes from your fingers, controlling weasels with your mind, you name it.

Their kids became the second generation. They had powers but not as powerful as the first generation. Such as Dairy-kinetic powers, being invisible but having to close your eyes during invisibility, seeing the future but sometimes forgetting what it was that you had seen. As you might have guessed Chrysanthemum and I are second generation power users.

Some people like to call these strange powers talents, because they are advantages that we have over other people however small that advantage might be, right?

Anyway I’m sure that talents will not be going away any time soon. There have been reports that sewage water can also have the same mutating effects on our DNA. Hence my plan involving a ton of dynamite and an outhouse… That plan didn’t go as well as I had hoped…

Well until next time.

Cordially Yours,
