Is this a challenge? Maybe… Possibly… No… (Skip down to the end if you just want a normal summary of the challenge XP)
It's a story, if you read between the lines and see what's behind the print.
The point of this is to get you guys to think about what's around you. What you see, but never touch upon. Are you afraid to, possibly? Read this song… listen to it, even, and try to see how this applies to Danny Phantom. It can apply to anyone, of any gender, which is why I edited some parts. You can go for the obvious… or dare to delve deeper into this beautiful song. Your choice, but remember…
'Only Siths think in absolutes' –Obi Wan to Anakin (Star Wars, whatever movie it was in)
…
Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here s/he comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know s/he
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Rules are things that cripple an idea, things that don't allow it to grow and flourish, to become amazing and pure. Sure, a story with rules can be amazing when it's well written but the piece is… tainted in a way, tainted by something that's not in control of the pen's wielder, the author.
So maybe you'll take this shadow-challenge… or you can walk away, exactly the same, but at the same time feeling like you lost something. Something important… something close… something you didn't even notice or appreciate until it was just gone. Disappearing into the steadily declining… place. It doesn't have a name, nor does it need one.

... Going over this makes me feel like I'm 30 years old XDDDDDD
Anyway, there's no rules, just basically make a story based on this song. Simple enough?
