Dust fell all around me from nowhere apparently, it would always fall heavily in places I stay for too long. Like for a week I lingered in my apartment missing school for a week to try and find how much would fall and quite to my astonishment 3 inches of dust fell withing the apartment room I was in the walls weren't so bad however the floor was most impacted.

This is new to me as I just started living alone recently. The land lady of this apartment is the one I lived with up until my current age, 19.

She acted as someone close to me since I was 9.

Albeit coming to me recently and telling me it's time to live alone, she said she would pay all expenses and left me to only focus on school.

Speaking of which the door is opening, it's probably her.

I stood up and on my right was a door leading out of the room where I eat, ahead was the kitchen and behind me was the space where I was able to lay my futon.

My futon as well was covered in a thick dust as well.

So Taking the door and heading out in to the corridor on the left would lead to my room on the right would lead to the front door.

I went to my right to greet her she came in carrying a bag which filled the room with the scent of sweets and coffee. I was used to and smiled at the sight of her.

"You've been well Mae?" She smiled at me and asked. 

"I am, let's head in." I went ahead and walked back into the room.

I felt her gaze on my back as we walked however I nonchalantly lead the way.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

I sat where I did prior and she sat in my lap.

I noticed I was cleaner than the rest of my room and understood a reason behind it.

"Mae.." here it comes.

"What's all this dust?" As expected.

She asked that question as pure curiousity so I told her.

"Dust seemed to fall visibly after a while and this is a weeks result."

She looked around and didn't have to focus too much to see the dust falling.

She looked at me worriedly.

"Im fine, the dust doesn't have much affect on my health. Still it's a bit difficult living normally."

"What should we do?" She looked around.

"Nothing, I want to see what this is. It also happens at school as well."

"Then I will live here until I find out as well." Seeing her so adamant I decided to let her. 

She smiled and looked at the bag.

Starting to bring out all the cakes and two coffees we smiled and ate together while talking about her day. 

Soon night fell and we slept on my futon.

--

I woke up in the middle of the night.. no.. day? Fuck! No it's night! It's day! Where the hell am I!

I looked around but it felt like I was everywhere. Not just my room but everywhere. The universe.. no the planets, this place I could see them all. I quickly calmed my self down I focused on the room I was in. 

Everything went back to normal after that I was willing and scream at everything inside me to focus on the room.

I could now see the room from every angle even my room which wasnt using.

For whatever reason I tried moving my arm and all the dust in the area on the futon I was on prior moved in the shape of a arm.

I noticed where a lump of dust where I was before.

I forced my self not to worry about it.

I focused again on my body this time and this time I felt and saw the dust gather until my body lie there. Then my clothes became made of dust.

I lay there for an hour until my senses were set.

I had something new creating dust, controlling it, destroying it. That's what I learned so far and I could change color and materials. As long as It was dust..

Now my body became dust then a body again I did this a few times until I had control.

I looked around, behind me was where she lay, I noticed parts of her were dust like her should or knee had partly turned to dust. She stir awake and looked around while getting up.

Her brown her and pale skin where covered in dust her brown eyes looked at her body parts which had become dust.

After a while I explained what happened and a bit later she gained control over dust. Her control of dust was her body and changing materials. 

We played around with it a bit before a question hit us.

"Mae.. what should we do?" 

I considered it but I wasn't sure.

"I'm not sure."

Now not so distracted with changing our bodies to gold and diamond etc we felt the gazes of others coming from the window over my futon. 

There were thousands of odd existences outside my window all staring at us some I recognized as yokai.

We looked out the window at them and suddenly the glass broke. 

"Mae!"

I grit my teeth.
