Chapter 1 the fall

Hi my name is Shawn and I have a question for you have you ever wondered what you would do if you lost someone or something important to you because of someone or something well I'll tell you what I would do I would want revenge more than anything and I'm betting you would too but the problem is not being strong enough to fight back to take that revenge and no matter how hard you try you can't seem to reach that unimaginable goal of power but what if one day you could but at an unimaginable cost would you do it would you take the plunge to get the power or would you be to a week to fight for your revenge ill share my story with you.

I was walking home one saturday evening from a long day at work all i wanted was to go home relax and spend time with my wife lilly and my two kids brad and jake i hop on the bus home i barely got the last bus back i cant wait to see my kids happy faces when i return but nothing could have prepared me for what i had seen when i got home i open the door to the house waiting for my kids to welcome me home but there was nothing no sound no nothing i walked through the house to find them when i did find them i wish i hadn't the mangled corpses of my kids and my wife the remains of my wife you could tell she tried to protect them to the end i slumped to my knees and cried i cried for hours when i finally got my self calm enough to call the police i did you may be wondering why i didnt call from the start you may be thinking that i might have been able to save them trust me there was nothing i could do there was no saving them my wifes head was on the other side of the room my kids where missing there limbs all of there bellies where torn open when the police got there they searched every inch of the house no sign of a break in but the cops said later that the way they died it was not able to be done by a human because they all died at the same time the wounds where to cleen for a blade this was a mystery for two and a half years until the day that the world got turned on its head when a group of people made a horrible mistake they where messing with some magic symbols you would see online but making changes to see what would happen obviously nothing happen or so they thought after they where done not even thirty minutes later lound sound heart wrenching sound screams but not human screams thats when i looked out side and sall them what we now call the shadows all different sizes but they looked like people but not people at the same time they had some humane characteristics that look normal but also didnt they where pitch black the size of the arms and legs where all off and the sounds they made where not able to be made by man there limbs where sharp like extremely sharp they brushed a telephone pole and i got sliced in half then it hit me them it was them these, things there what killed my family then all of a sudden it got dark really dark not pitch black but a little brighter than the light from a full moon even though it was the middle of the day thats when i noticed another thing my shadow is gone its not there but that another reason for the name shadows they are believed to be the shadows of people these shadow are also believed to hold all the malice greed just all the sins of man some say its gods way of resetting the world like the flood with noah i dont know what to think any more the hole worlds gone to shit no use in speculating it wont help about one week in to the end of the world or other whys know as the day of the shadows i found a shadows weakness so far i cant find a way to kill them but i can ethier stun them or slow them down for a bit its light a sudden bright light it should have been easy to figure out because there well shadows but at least i have a way to escape if needed its the second week i have not found any other people how ever im running out of light the bulb is going to die soon so well see how sturdy these guys are soon.
