[ WP ] A scientific study proves that all humans have been breathing a mind-altering gas from birth . It has been in the air since the beginning of recorded time . People have been in a constant state of being high . Until now . Specialised gas masks are handed out and people have begun to act strange .

Dr. Kent slipped a pill in a coffee and offered it to Jennifer. 
 
 `` So how long it has been?'' He asked. 
 
 `` About a week. I do n't know it was damaged. I think maybe they give me a faulty one.'' said Jennifer while sipping the coffee.

 Jennifer knew something was wrong. She could n't explain what changed everyone. *maybe I've gone crazy, or maybe it's the world? * she thought before she could n't take it anymore and decided to see the doctor.

 She started feeling dizzy. Dr. Kent's pills started working. Jennifer took no time to understand what was happening. 
 
 `` I trusted you and you did this?'' she said with disappointment in her voice. 
 
 `` Look Jennifer, it's all going to be all right. Your mask is not working for how long I do n't know and you know the new law right?'' He said with a grin on his face. 
 
 `` That law is ridiculous. Do n't you see how people are killing each other since the day these masks came'' she said while trying to sit balanced in the chair. She took out a gun from her purse and pointed towards the doctor. 
 
 `` They'll put in a asylum. They'll kill me. You said you wo n't tell anyone.'' and a shot fired from the gun at doctors face. 
 
 He fell down from his chair. Stumbling across the room Jennifer walked out, closed her eyes and gave herself up to the unconsciousness. The gun slipped from her hand as she fell on the floor.

 Helen was in her chair looking over the appointments when she heard the gunshot. She hid down below her desk and called police. She heard the door open and someone collapsing. She took a peak and saw a woman lying on the floor with a gun inches from her. 
 
 It took all her courage to rush and kick the gun away from her. She heard the doctor squealing in pain from inside the office. She went inside and saw him lying on the floor. 
 
 `` Are you ok?'' 
 
 `` Yeah I'm alright. The bullet just grazed the mask a little bit. Did you call the police? That woman has been using a faulty mask, she must go away.''

 Jennifer was taken by the emergency services into a private government facility. 
 
 Dr. Kent went home early. He started experiencing the same thing Jennifer earlier told him. *Did i made a mistake? or am I going crazy? * he sweated. He then realized there was a leak in his mask.
