Chapter Two

The Decision

Gina drove home with Randall. She was quiet, and really didn’t know how she was going to broach the subject, but Randall beat her to the punch.

“Mom” he started, “What were you and the Doctor talking about? Is it serious?”

“Well, yes, honey, it is”

“Am I going to die?” he said quietly.

The Hand You're Dealt

This is a piece of fan fiction. “Wild Cards” created by George R.R. Martin.

In 1945, an alien virus was released over the skies of New York City. Eventually, that virus would be known as the Wild Card. Of those who contracted the virus, nine of ten died, most horribly. Of the survivors, nine of ten mutated into monsters and freaks, known as Jokers. But one out of every one hundred people who contracted the virus developed super-human abilities, and these fortunate few became known as Aces. The virus traveled on the winds, reaching most of the world, leaving behind a trail of destruction and pain wherever it went. This is the story of one community, how it became affected by the Wild Card, and how the survivors tried to pick up the pieces afterward.
