The Unseen Empire

Huge structures piercing the clouds flooded the land all around. These "skyscrapers" as "they" called them were everywhere, but did they really need such massive things. Maybe they were used for something "important" to them, but now they are just... empty. Well most anyway.. My name is Alteria and I am "The Future"

[MAN IN RED] "Gather round my children! I have news of our progress!"

A mass of people gathered around the man and were completely silent waiting for his next words. The sky was black with clouds signifying the rain soon to come as they all stared at him as if his words were to cure there unending hunger.

[MAN IN RED] "You see! This girl can not only power such devices but also use them in ways one would never predict!"

The girl tried to pull away as the radio static stuttered and voices were heard through the noise. The voices got more and more comprehensible.

[RADIO] "Ladies and gentlemen this game has taken a turn for the worst as Nakamura, the star pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers is carried off the field from what seems to be heat exhaustion."

[MAN IN RED] "She can tune in and intercept radio waves coming from the "Blinded."

The radio then stuttered into a silence as the people jumped and cheered and with that the man let go of the girl as she then fell to the ground and began to pant. Her eyes grew darker and darker until she blacked out.
