Sometimes you glimpse a world hidden away behind your thoughts, back in the shadows are those creatures lurk that you try not to think about too often. Those dark creatures that hide in the shadows behind you, occasionally you see flickers of them in mirrors and reflected back from the glass you are bringing up to your lips. Often nothing more than an undulation of a shadow’s edge that can be easily dismissed as a trick of the light.
Deep down though, you know they are lurking there and that they have all the time in the world to wait. They have been waiting for us from ever since our time began, and they will be here long after the legend of the human is forgotten by the universe.
Back when humanity was young these were spirits, demons, gods and all those other fates, hopes and malevolences that lurked out beyond control. These were the ghosts, goblins elves and other such creatures that lurked in the shadows waiting for the unwary to step on that deeper patch of darkness that was no ordinary shadow, but a place where life could be torn screaming from the one who took that step too far.
