Kai's Story

(written June 10th)
I came home this morning from my retreat. My three hounds were the first to greet me at the door. I then asked them where Kai was and all at once they replied that he was in his room. I knocked first and then entered. Kai was awake but I could tell there was something wrong. I went over and sat on his bed.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine. It's just a little cold that's all," he replied.
"Do you need anything? Medicine, an ice pack-"
"No. It'll pass, I just need to regain my strength. Can you get me some tea at least?"
"Sure. I'll be right back."

After getting Kai's tea, I walked back into his room and he was sitting up- he seemed to be doing better within those few minutes. It was then that I saw the bandage, all ready drenched with fluid on his left arm.
"Kai, what's going on?"

He shook his head almost as if he was afraid to tell me. After a few seconds he began,"You know that cigarette mark I had on my arm?"
"Yeah, you said you got it from a friend who wasn't cool with you not smoking."
He nodded, "Well something strange is happening. Cove, I think my Promicin ability has finally begun to show itself."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I mean I always knew I had an ability but for some odd reason it was dormant. It started right after you left on your retreat. I saw this blue syrum which I thought was paint since I was doing that painting over there-" He pointed to a painting on his desk that showed a blue skyline.
"It wasn't the paint though was it?"
"No. That evening I took the dogs out for a walk to one of the nearby parks. There was a homeless guy just minding his own business except his left arm was amputated. Somehow we bumped into each other and his stump rubbed against my left arm. I didn't think anything of it because people bump into each other all the time. The next evening I went out to the same park to take the dogs on their walk and I saw the same man but he was different."
"How different?"
"There wasn't a stump- he had his whole arm back. It was weird. I thought that maybe he had just gotten a prostetic but that wasn't it. There was this young guy playing football and he didn't have his right hand. He wasn't watching where he was going and he bumped into my left arm. This morning I go out to the park to check on a huntch and I see the same guy with his right hand full and intact."
"Kai, this is amazing."
"I suppose. I did some lab tests on the syrum when I got home and there are strange chemical traces in them. It's cool and everything I guess but I can't shut it off. I tried creating some kind of stopper but the pressure was too much. I tried to seal it up with tap but that didn't work and now these sport bandages aren't working."
"It's okay we'll think of something."
"I hope so."
"Here, let me help you with getting a new gauze pad on."
"Thanks."
"I'm glad you told me."
"I promised you that there would be no more secrets between us and I meant it."

So Kai has the ability to heal amputees. That is such an amazing ability and considering all of the amputees there are in the world, I am sure that once he is able to control it, he will be able to do so much good in this world.

With all of the 4400 and Promicin takers out there who are wanting to do a good thing in this world, it makes me wonder why they hate us so much.
