Tom Seeker

By Elks

Some strong language. Violence. Death.My name is Tom, though most days, I feel far older than my fourteen years. Not because of responsibilities like bills or a job, but because of the unsettling static that often fills my head. I have the gift, or perhaps, the curse, of foresight and aura reading. It's not a parlour trick or something I can switch on and off. It's a constant hum beneath the surface of my awareness, a sixth sense that filters the world through a prism of potential futures and shimmering emotional states. Foresight, for me, isn't like watching a movie of tomorrow. It's more like fractured glass, a fleeting kaleidoscope of images, sounds, or even just gut-wrenching feelings that slam into me without warning. Aura reading is even more invasive. Every person I meet is a living light show, a shifting palette of colours that betray their true emotions, their health, even their underlying intentions. This story, I suppose, is an origin story of sorts, though not one where I gain powers, but rather one where those powers are brutally tested and defined. It's a tale where I lose everything that anchored my young life, but let me be clear: this isn't the genesis of a supervillain. The devastation that follows doesn't twist me into a monster, though it certainly carves deep channels of pain and determination. It's about holding onto humanity when the foundations unravel.
No, this is about how my closest friends and I embark on a desperate, terrifying journey. My younger sister, Tiffany, snatched from home one day. A search for her, driven by my frantic visions and the crushing weight of her absence, that quickly spirals beyond the mundane. Because as we delve deeper, chasing fragmentary clues and shadowy figures, we discover that the truth lurking beneath the surface isn't just dark, it's profoundly alien, far more complicated and perilous than simple kidnapping. Things, we soon learn, are most definitely not as they seem.
