A meteor hits the Earth...and suddenly everyone is turning into Superman!
A meteorite has crashed into the Earth in a small, Northern California town. One young man is brave enough to touch it; his skin comes in contact with a substance seeping from the rock. Soon after, he discovers a new power: he can teleport; move from one place to another in an instant. His girlfriend, too, finds that she has acquired a new ability: she is a shape-shifter, able to transform into anything or anyone at will. She discovers this after a random meeting with him ends not with a kiss goodbye, but with a simple brush of her hand against his.
Following this, everyone these two individuals touch, even for an instant, soon find themselves the recipient of some newfound power: some can fly, a few can start fires, etc. It is different for each person. Because we are social animals with the ability to communicate on a global scale through skin-to-skin contact in everyday interactions, before too long, many people from all parts of the globe are reporting their uniqueness.
But this ride will not last for long. Anyone who has not touched another within 24 hours faces their demise. It is soon fathomed by scientists that we have been infected by a virus that needs to copy itself to a new host in order to survive. However, time is quickly running out to find someone new. There are only so many people on the Earth, and it has been reasoned that only 30 days may remain before the human race dies out!
They also reason that the copies of the virus are linked to the original. If it dies, all the others below it will die with it, like links in a chain. So a worldwide search has begun for that one young man who started it all. They wish to beg him to be a martyr and give his life in order to save the world.

However, when the park rangers and other government officials arrive on the scene, instead of finding ashes and the charred remains of human bodies--shockingly--they stumble upon four young children.
Unknown to anyone, even the children themselves, it turns out that they have been reincarnated, by the fire, from the elders who perished.
But these are no ordinary youngsters. Their souls are literally made of fire! They have power and control over heat, sunshine increases their life force, they hate cold weather (it's actually painful to them), and water is destructive; they don't drink much water, and rain will kill them.
As they grow up, the secret unravels as to who and what they are and, with help from friends they have made along the way, learn how to stay one step ahead of a world lacking in understanding and acceptance.
They have run away from one abusive foster home after another, been ridiculed by their peers, had rumors and lies spread about them, and are on the run from sinister government agents who wish to expose and exploit them...perhaps for use as terrorist weapons?
Making their way through life, the kids discover they have been chosen, by Destiny, to receive this power, in order to resolve a long-forgotten debt which must be paid, as the result of a curse handed down throughout the generations from over two hundred years ago. Their true parents, whom they wish to find, are trapped in the past, and only a miracle can reunite them.

They have been asleep underneath the Earth for centuries, with all resources necessary to sustain survival. The storm is actually remnants of energies from far away, meant to revive the race, and take them back home.

Friendship soon turns to love as he makes frequent visits to Earth to see her. But all is not well upstairs.

Unknown to anyone, even the children themselves, it turns out that they have been reincarnated, by the fire, from the elders who perished.
But these are no ordinary youngsters. Their souls are literally made of fire! They have power and control over heat, sunshine increases their life force, they hate cold weather (it's actually painful to them), and water is destructive; they don't drink much water, and rain will kill them.
As they grow up, the secret unravels as to who and what they are and, with help from friends they have made along the way, learn how to stay one step ahead of a world lacking in understanding and acceptance.
They have run away from one abusive foster home after another, been ridiculed by their peers, had rumors and lies spread about them, and are on the run from sinister government agents who wish to expose and exploit them...perhaps for use as terrorist weapons?
Making their way through life, the kids discover they have been chosen, by Destiny, to receive this power, in order to resolve a long-forgotten debt which must be paid, as the result of a curse handed down throughout the generations from over two hundred years ago. Their true parents, whom they wish to find, are trapped in the past, and only a miracle can reunite them.
Can they find a way to break the spell and make things right again...as well as escape the evil clutches of those in the world who are hunting them down? Only time will tell. Stay tuned...

They derived no pleasure from the attachment to another person.
Generations later, the population began to notice that something was clearly missing from their lives. They couldn't quite figure out what was wrong; they just didn't feel right. And so they jumped in their ships and began a quest throughout the universe to look for it. One day they stumbled upon a small, green planet called Earth; a world inhabited by beings they discover are extremely free with something called love and emotion.
They want to learn from us what all the fuss is about, and when we show them--because it has been lying dormant within all this time, due to the fact that they have not used it for so long--it comes out with an explosive force that consumes everyone's existence: body, mind, heart and soul!

It completely devastates modern civilization as we know it. Buildings and everything else, which is like the aftermath of nuclear destruction, is flattened and, more tragically, about 80% of the population is wiped out.

They encounter a race of aliens, who claim they have recently awoken. Actually, they have been awakened--by the storm. They have been asleep underneath the Earth for centuries, with all resources necessary to sustain survival. The storm is actually remnants of energies from far away, meant to revive the race, and take them back home.
But the citizens of Earth don't want the aliens to leave right away, for they wish to learn more of them and their abilities, which seem far more advanced.
At least it appears they are aliens. Before too long, it is revealed that they are from the future--sent back into the past, from a distant world that was destroyed in a war.
