Chapter 2
The two both laid back onto the cold soil, let go of their worries and relaxed. They both very much needed a break from the scorching sun.
With their thoughts roaming free of constraints, Tom's mind boiled up something interesting. “Wait,” he started, without lifting himself up or even opening his eyes, “if our bloodline represents the only people who can receive unearthly powers, … Are witches related to us?” Tom moved his head in James’ direction but didn’t bother opening his eyes – he didn’t want to be blinded by the sun.
“That’s right, yeah.” James’ mouth hardly moved.
“Are they being trained for the same purpose we are?”
“I don’t know for sure, but if you ask my opinion, I don’t think so. After all, improved physical capabilities are very welcome under a dome that allows no magical powers. I like to think of them more like test bunnies. Everything’s tested on them before it’s implemented on us, the gunslingers.” James paused for a bit, then moved his head in Tom’s direction. “At least that’s my theory. I never even met a real witch. The ones being burned aren’t the real witches, far from so. No, real witches are probably more like us. Ordinary at first look, and deadly at the second.” James grunted while getting himself up. “Come, let’s kill a rabbit or something and rest later. I’m hungry.”

Really nice story here man! You have a very beautiful way of bringing the reader in the perception of the character and in such a short amount of words as well. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you! So very much! Means a lot to me!
Will try my best to keep them comin'! :D
Please do man! Very enjoyable to read :)
Thanks! :D
It would mean the world to me if you read Chapter 1 and the rest of the parts of Chapter 2 and tel me what you think!
Nevertheless, though, thank you for stopping by and enjoying the read! :D
A small challenge for me to undertake and I am more than willing to accept. Always like to help fellow creators out. I will get back to you when I am finished brother :)
Sounds awesome! :D Thanks! :D
Ha! I love this casually creepy ending: “Come, let’s kill a rabbit or something and rest later. I’m hungry.”
Hahaha :D Thanks :P Glad you like it! :D
Hmm. I wonder if those genetic tests include the Witch Line? Nice story... opened up a whole new business opportunity.
Hahaha :p maybe it's in the coding part of the DNA the governments don't allow us to investigate. :p
Well, as we all know, the Witches control the government. Best witches...ever.:-))
Pssssst! Don't talk about them too much - they might consider.. you know... terminating us.
:P
