What happens when we die? This has been the topic of so many debates amoung us humans since the beginning of time. Sure we can look to religion to answer that question for us, in every religion the faithful go to a sort of paradise, while the unfaithful and the "evil" people go to a horrible place of torture and darkness for all eternity. Religion also says that our spirits cannot stay behind because as soon as we die we are judge and sent to wherever we are suppose to go. What if, however, that statement was wrong? What if, when we die, we decide to not go toward the light, to say behind on Earth for whatever reason? There could be hundreds of reasons you could want to stay behind, fear, wanting to remain close to a loved one, not even realizing you are dead is just a few theroies out there. Then again, what if you just wanted to stay behind? What if you felt you wasn't ready or what if you wanted revenge? Of course most people and religions scorn that reason but it could be one couldn't it? Good example: what if, and this is common in today's world, lets say there is a guy in high school or just in his everyday life that gets picked on or given a hard time all of this life until he finally just ends it? Students out there have killed themselves because of bullies, its not unheard of, and people say "They are just weak and can't take it." Well I ask you: Have you ever been picked on? Everyday of your life some bully comes up to you and beats the hell out of you for no reason while everyone around you laughs and points. What if there is so much anger at the time of death that the spirit refuses to go on until it has brought those that gave it hell in life to justice? Then again, what if that spirit was forever changed because of that anger? Changed into something that not only wants to kill those who brought it hell in life, but wants to see that whole world in pain? This can because caused by more than just being picked on in school, maybe they caught their loved one cheating on them or maybe they witnessed the death of a loved one in some violent manner, there are hundreds if not thousands of reasons. Then again what if the person was just evil to being with? How much trouble would we be in then?
Now you may be sitting there reading this thinking that I should just get on with the story, but just put yourself in the characters shoes, even though they may have superpowers of some kind, they are still at their core, humans or at least humanoid, and they can be scared no matter who or what they are. If you are sitting reading this in a lit room, whether it been in the day time or with some kind of artifical light then I encourage you to wait until its dark outside or to turn off your lamp and read this in the darkness, in silence. Unfourtuantly I cannot add any sound effects to words or make a monster jump out at just the right time and scare the hell out of you but I can make your imagionation start to work. This story comes after a number of faild attempts to do something new and exciting, something darker with out little friends then what is normally done. I have seen many stories who do that quite well but they are not for me, so don't think I am writing this to please you because you would be wrong. I do not write to please the public, I do not write to please anyone but myself, I present this to you just so you can have a taste of what truely runs through my mind day after day, I do hope however, that tonight before you go to bed this story does make you look in your closet or prehaps in that dark corner in your room where the shadows hit just right, where they seem to move and crawl across your dead room wall. If not then I do not think I have failed as a writer, I think I just haven't hit your weak point yet. Fear is universal, everyone is afraid of something and sooner or later it will be just a matter of time before that point is hit. I hope that I am the one to hit that button, to add just enough of a certain creature or thing that will make chills run up and down your spine. Don't worry, that hand on your shoulder is just a figment of your imagionation right?
