“All right.” Zach dropped his pizza and sat up more. “If you guys really want to know—I can control fire and electricity.”Splash!Kaaren had just spit out her water; it sprayed primarily on Justin, but Alex fell victim to it as well. Zach wiped off his arm.“WHAT IS YA PROBLEM, GIRL?” Justin yelled, picking up his napkin to wipe himself off, Alex doing the same, exasperated.“This is the second time today!” said Alex. “Why do things always have to happen to me?”“Zach?” said Kaaren, ignoring the others. “Did you just say you can control fire and electricity?”“Yeah. Thanks fah apologizin’, Kaaren,” said Justin sarcastically. “Zach, don’t ansa her—she might spit again.”“Yeah,” said Zach. “Those are my powers. Why? What’s the big deal?”“What’s the big deal?” said Kaaren, turning away momentarily as if she were offended. “Zach, you have two active powers!”“Yeah. So?” said Zach.“Wait. Let me get this straight,” said Alex. “So you can…zap people who annoy you?”“Sure. If I wanted to.”“Hm....” She pondered. “My own personal little Taser.”Kaaren watched her with concern before turning back to Zach. “Well, let me explain this much to you, Zach. My mom told me that marcils with two active powers become great—very great. I really believe that once you get older, you’ll go far. Further than anyone can imagine probably.”“’Kay. That’s enough,” said Justin, vexed. “Shut it, Kaaren. Are you socially impaired? Don’t you see you’ve freaked Zach and myself out enough! You ain’t no fortune tella! Now could ya just stop showin’ off fah once and eat the food ya ordered?”“Well excuse me for trying to be helpful,” she said, taking a bite from her pizza crust and then dropping the crust on her plate.“Yeah, well ya not bein’ helpful—ya bein’ annoyin’. And that advice won’t lead ya t’ nowhere but prison.”Alex made a slight grin.Kaaren noticed. “Alex?”“What? You did just slobber all over my face.”Have you ever constantly shocked yourself with electricity or been so angry at someone you accidentally set them on fire? Well, that's maybe not the case for most teenagers, but it is in the case of Zach and his friends.Unfortunately for Zach, who only wants to be normal, he finds that his ever developing powers are just simply out of his control. After Zach nearly burns his entire house down, he is told that he possesses the abilities of fire and electricity. He ends up being sent to Oshmane, a whole new school meant to teach students how to mentally and physically use their powers. It is a society filled with innovative technology and Zach will find out that ships that fly and cars that drive by themselves do exist. Not only that, but teenagers can play sports with fire balls and display other powers that transcend all comprehension. Zach and his friends Justin, Kaaren, and Alex will discover the many secrets of their newfound world, and will be forced to accept that the choices they make with their powers truly are capable of affecting the rest of their lives forever…Go to http://dlperry90.wix.com/zachofoshmane to learn more.
