The Superhuman Condition

[fαllεη •]

Today is like any other day. You wake up, get dressed, hurry to work. Above you,
gray skies hang without emotion. Below you, gray cement moves by in a steady
pace as you walk. Your coat is tattered, your shoes, old, your morale, weakened
by the daily grind. The world is as it always has been for you: steadily boring,
relentlessly pointless.
As your feet move robotically down the path they've become so used to taking,
you hear something - a small disturbance in the normality of the day. The faint
echo of an old voice, filled with tired certainty, accompanied with an undertone of
persuasive doom. After a few more steps, you break the mold of the routine
you've become so accustomed to, forcing your weary legs to carry you in the
direction of the sound. As you move closer, you hear the following words:

"The superhuman condition is a problem that we must all face together. We must
face it with courage, and we must face it with dignity. Together, as a people, as a
nation, we can stop this menace before it threatens to destroy the fabric of our
society. As long as I am standing, I will keep this epidemic to our world contained!"

Your heartrate quickens, as does your pace. You turn the corner, eyes open,
mind alert. A crowd of people fill the space in front of you, all staring hypnotically
up at the pale, aged speaker. He is without charisma, but he holds their
unwavering attention, though the way he adresses the crowd is one of routine
formality. That is the only observation you manage to make before he turns,
slowly entering the enormous whitehouse behind him. As the crowd disperses, you
remain, lost in eager thought. How long have you been accepting the
decisions of authority without question? How long have you been letting the
difficulties of the world pass over your head, too concerned with your own welfare
to care about the rest of society?
This is your chance to break free. The path you were following for so long
suddenly forks, without warning. One way leads to further acceptance. Take the
words of the speaker at face value and attempt to aid your country in the fight
against the superhuman condition. The other is the opposite: join the other side.
Humanity has had control for far too long, and it's time for someone else to take
the reins. Make this so-called "problem" the new reality. Show 'em what you've got.

It's up to you now; the choice is yours. Your destiny, your beliefs, your desires are
all in your hands. Will you fight the superhuman condition? Or will you become it?
