The Group

"What are your powers?" the tall man asked Stanley.

Stanley stared at the man for a few moments before answering him. He told the man about his power to speed up growth and age for anything that he touched.

"What is that log for?" The girl asked, pointing to the wooden log that Stanley carried around.

"I'm aging this log right now," Stanley answered her. "To dry it up for fire at night."

"You make fire at night? Are you not afraid?" the short man asked him.

Stanley shrugged. "I've only been here for a day. I don't know much about what is going on here anyway," he said. "I only know that people seem to not hesitate to kill each other here, which is why I'm surprised to see 4 people in the same place."

The short girl quickly shook her hands. "Don't worry, we're not going to kill anyone," she said. "We are weak in power, so we are sticking together to survive."
