There is a city where the sun and the moon neither rise nor set a city of perpetual twilight. Where there is no good or bad, no right or wrong. Everything is based on perspective in this ephemeral city. This city has no people, only shadows. Shades of former denizens who lost their dreams but not their hearts, a stagnate state of being alive but not living. This was the empty city. He was a lonely soul, new to this city devoid of life.

Millions of people across the world saw the
suddenly glistened with joy as he thought his efforts bore fruition. The joy was short lived however as The Shadow began to speak with a thunderous voice and said, “you have become the embodiment of the crass blob like creature that tried to kill you once. You are now a creature of the night as your heart is foul and forever wretched.” And just as The Shadow said his final word he melted into the shadows and back into the shadowy dominion in which he reigned. The man apparently took no heed to The Shadow’s
