I am Melissa Bear. I am currently female, otherwise genderless, and as you already know I am the 13th strongest GL in the world, soon to be first. I say that controlling helium is my ability, but it's really just a cover story while I lay dormant. Which is not much longer. I live in a city known for how pretty the stars are there. All my "life" I wanted to see the stars and how they look, and the meteor showers, and the comets, and the planets, and the milky ways, and the constellations. Everyone, everyone speaks of how beautiful they are. All I want is to see them, and my parents know that. Every single year. Every. Single. Year. I ask to see the stars, but all I get are coloring books because unlike Earth we do not have this Google or Safari for "looking up" stuff on the internet. I always tell them how do I color this if I don't even know what they look like and they just change the subject.
Also, I am colorblind, or so i'm told. One day I eavesdropped on my parents conversation that the whole house is only red, blue, green, and yellow for my "safety." I never even been outside, never to school, or to the store, I don't even have windows. Let alone friends. I have one, except she can only come over when the family's gone, like to an amusement park, or shopping, and the worst is for vacation. The only time I go traveling is when I have a blindfold on, and it's torture.
To me, it feels like my world is crashing, listening to only loneliness in a world filled with both excitement and despair. The emptiness inside me causes me to be a very quiet, emotionless type of person.
When I turn 16 I will be on the wanted list. A criminal for nothing. All I do all day is watch anime with "restriction" on? Someone, please tell me what pink, purple, aqua, brown, white, what does it look like?
At night the house shines various shades of green, blue, yellow, and red. I wonder what does night feel like. I am told It is a time where everything feels more lively, the atmosphere, and you. Its also a time where you are supposed to sleep. I do not know the reason of sleep, I am awake 36 hours and then forced to sleep although I don't know how, to prevent my parents from stressing out I lay there doing nothing in bed for 7 hours to then do nothing again. Night, I think, would be my dream, what I want to feel, experience among the stars.
When my family is on vacation, at night I let my tablet charge, and put stickers on the camera so no one will see me, and play with my helium, I would technically be 1st on the wanted list if the government would know all the many tricks I could pull. Now that I think of it I could've taken over the world, if I wasn't dormant...
