okay, you know how this story starts?
in the beginning there wasn't shit, literally just void and darkness and that is how the darkness like it. it wasn't until God decreed "TURN ON THE LIGHTS!" that things got nasty!
it started out small. a planet here, a sun there. next thing you know there are humans and cows and stuff running all over the place.
needless to say the darkness was PISSED!
from then till now, the darkness tore its way through the world. inhabiting one human host after another; each thinking it was its master.
but you can't own the darkness, the darkness owns you!
fast forward to one Jackie Estacado
you know his type?
no family, no hope, no future
he ended up about what you expect. busting heads for the Franchetti crime family. life was a whole was pretty dark for Jackie.
then came his 21st birthday and things got a whole lot darker.
you might think that inheriting super powers would be pretty cool for Jackie, you know being in the business of killing people and all and if not for the demon living inside of him, you'd be right
see the darkness, it didn't just make Jackie stronger...it made him a god but only when the lights are out.
next thing you know the mob turns on Jackie, marks him for death just like that
its the New York City Mob vs Jackie and the darkness
but as dark as things were for Jackie, there was a light in his life
and her name was jenny
now, these kids they went way back.
I don't think anybody would disagree that they were meant for each other
if anything that is the whole tragedy in all of this.
the mob was still after Jackie and they thought the quickest way to get to him was to take away his only reason for living and the bullet to her pretty little head...that's what they did
killing jenny was about the dumbest thing the mob could have done; see without her Jackie had nothing left to live for but even worse he had nothing left to loose!
as for the darkness, Jackie has kept it locked away for years but it doesn't matter how hard he tries...you can't hold back the night
the darkness is back and the only light in his life was snuffed out a long time ago.
if he can't control this thing inside him, pretty soon there will be nothing left. Jackie will be nothing but an empty shell and that is just how the darkness likes it.
