Blue Phobia

On a secret island, a mysterious blue ore was discovered--and whenever a human being touches it, his or her body transforms into that ore. The mystery of the ore inspires the government to embark on a project to mine and research the ore. Due to the extreme danger, however, all miners are prisoners with a sentence of life in prison, or the death penalty. Well, all except one--a boy around ten years old, who was born in the mines to a prisoner. His fists and arm have begun transforming into the blue ore. And for some reason, he keeps punching the rock wall--in the same place, over and over. Is he trying to escape? And if he does escape, what will he do then?
