Summary: AU, Nyctophobia is fear of the dark and in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, the survivors have everything to fear from the shadows of the night as evil runs amuck in the eerie ruins of the city, hunting the humans.
Nyctophobia
By: Shadow
Prologue
I was born several millennia ago when man was new to the blue planet they now call "Earth". My family was friend and kin with the animals, but I was friend to no one. I was punished for my sins and now I haunt the shadows forever waiting, forever searching.
But after one million years on the planet, I became bored with my prey, and after one great massacre, I laid myself to rest, only to awaken every one hundred years or so.
I would rise and research the past hundred years I had missed, only to become bored again and retreat to my rest. The only times I truly stayed awake was during the black plague as they call it now and during the world war with Nazi Germany. I was so fascinated by the truly macabre scenes that lay before me and I would hum myself to sleep with the corpses' requiems.
The sight of the funeral march seemed to be a parade of enjoyment for me as the mourners would scream and cry in time with their loved one's requiem.
I woke up though, to one destruction that I believe that not even I would have been able to survive if I had not hidden myself once more, only deeper and further from the villainous bombs. The final war on earth in which everything was destroyed. Every continent was laid to waste and ruin as one egotistical tyrant fought with another.
So I waited and I now I wake to find the new dawn of man, scrambling to survive in the waist of the old world as new power rises from the ashes and send chills and fears to the day walkers night.
I suspect they are realizing why their ancestors feared the dark so much.
