Archons In Time

While sitting in class during a lecture I had the most interesting idea for a story, oir rather a series of short stories that builds up to a main arc I suppose. I really want to get it down here mostly because I know no one will ever read it, and if I do by some miracle end up writing the full story I won't have to worry about spoiling it for anyone.

Set in an alternate reality of the present day. For 25 years a few people have suddenly come into strange and powerful abilities. Only one person at a time ever exhibits the powers, and they only live for 6 months, after which time most die of a heart attack. Over the years many different type of people have the acquired the power. Some have used it for good and evil, while others chose to seclude themselves until they die.

Many people have studied the phenomenon with no answers. There are no apparent statistical trends, leading many to believe the power is completely random in its selection. The appears to be no bias in gender, race, or geographical location. Only a few differences have crept in over the years. Some have died prematurely, but only after extreme exertion.

I'll be writing more about this later as I go over my notes again, I wrote a lot in a short amount of time, but now it's bedtime!
