Short Story Pitch

Short Story
From the start, Kieran was an obvious outcast in his school. There was something about him that was different to every other kid, obviously he had different looks and personality, but everyone’s different in there own respect. Kieran however, had something that no one else did; this was in fact a superpower.  He had a tough time at school as it was, so he wouldn’t flaunt this power about because he knew the other children would tear him apart for it as well he was constantly picked on for having an unknown fear of zombies so people would chase him acting as a zombie. It got to the point where he couldn’t be around people who aren’t the same as him so he applied for a college named ‘Merriweather academy’ this allowed him to be surrounded by other students who also have superpowers.

A few months later, Kieran was at Merriweather academy, he’d fought through the nerves and had settled in well.  It was now normal for him to fly and teleport where and when he wanted because every other student had the ability to do things like Kieran. Merriweather academy was a lot smaller than his previous school, this is because only tiny popularity have special powers and actually know about having them, occasionally there would only be no more than 5 students in a lesson, it took Kieran a while to get his head around but found it easier to get on with people and concentrate. A main rule which teachers would constantly make it clear that you are not allowed to miss use your powers, or even use them without a teachers permission.

It was, what Kieran thought, a normal day at college, same old things happening, practicing his powers like usual. But something strange began to happen, the clock struck 12.12pm and the ground started to crack and tremble, everyone assumed it was an earthquake and followed the general procedure. It wasn’t until the sky switched black, a storm came flooding in, that they realized this, wasn’t any normal storm, this was a Zombie apocalypse! Zombies came out the floor, from the sky and just left, right and centre. The problems they were facing could only be stopped by each student’s powers. The only thing they could do was fight back, which they successfully do, but this means the secret about their powers is out because the city witnessed them abnormally defeat the zombies.
