I lived in a small town, everyone's fathers and brothers worked in the coal mines and would come home everyday spreading their black dust everywhere. I was 16 when the coal mines collapsed and the black dust went everywhere. It was dark and it would be days before we saw the sun again. On the third day of the black storm, I was sent out to fetch water from the well since all the pipes had been filled with coal dust. As I got closer to the well I saw a weird plant, it was sucking in the black smog and would secrete a colorful puff of smoke. Dropping my water bucket I went to get a closer look. I touched it and the next thing I knew I was laying on my living room floor. As I tried to sit up I saw colored smoke seeping out from beneath my fingers. By touching the plant I had acquired its power to transform the smoke into a colored water vapor. I went outside and immediately the smoke started to clear and the colored water was seeping from my palms. I was able to clean up the coal dust in less than 3 days. Now that the dust had cleared I thought the colors would stop coming, but I realized I was cleaning all air pollution. Everywhere I go, I clean the air. That is my superpower. |
