THE UNCONTROLLABLE POWER
It’s Tunde Ojo here, and I fear that I may be losing my faith in humanity. In only a few days, I’ve seen more destruction, betrayal, and death than I could have ever imagined witnessing. And, while I am still in Romania, watching what is currently considered extreme circumstances, I know the rest of the world is not far behind.
Declan, the reporter who brought me here and abandoned me in prison, is now dead. One of many victims of the women in the North. But the world most likely has its eyes on America, where Mayor Cleary-Lopez has just become the first politician to use EOD in public. The mayor has firmly supported women with skeins but has denied she has one herself.
In the American South, the girl who goes by Allie is swiftly becoming a prophet of sorts as she baptizes others with EOD. Power dynamics have been established, and so has the resistance against them. In a country that celebrates its freedom, there is fear about the possibility of this ability remaining unregulated.
When I first witnessed the Power being used, I was terrified by the harm it could cause. But, for a while during my assignments on EOD, I convinced myself that the fear was attached to my comfortability as a man in this world. Now I know that I should be afraid. We should all be afraid. This is Tunde Ojo, signing off for now. Please protect yourselves.
