The Shadow Serum
A little story I wrote... Just something.
Hope you like XD
(might continue, dunno yet, plis comment)
It was over. The generator was failing and soon all the lights would dim and slowly die. James Cornelius Gorman, a renowned scientist, the man who proved the existence of the elusive Shadow realm, would die for his research. It was his life's work, a portal to the Shadow realm and a research facility surrounded by powerful lights to keep all the shadows at bay. But soon those lights would die...

For too long has this invader avoided judgement by hiding behind the horrid lights. Now the lights were dimming and soon the shadows would be upon his evil fortress. The shadowman crowded around the shrinking bubble of light, none daring to come too close, yet moving in synchronisation with its boundaries. As they reached the fortress, all the lights finally dead, the assault started, thousands of shadowfolk banging on its door, searching for a way in. Now it was only a matter of time.

He could hear them banging on the big steel gate of the facility, he could hear the steel slowly buckling under their force. He had to do something fast! A serum he was working on, the Shadow Serum he called it, would transform him into the darkness that enveloped this world. It was still untested but it was his last shot, he grabbed the syringe and injected the serum into his blood. At first there was nothing, silence, he could feel a thousand presences around him, watching. And then the pain, the unspeakable pain! He collapsed and screamed and squirmed in the endless pain that would make the gods cry!

They watched in awe as this being of light transformed into not a shadow, but darkness, pure darkness. It screamed in pain, such screams made even the bravest of shadowman flinch and shiver in unease. Then nothing, silence again, but in front of them was not the invader from the world of light, it was something far, far more horrible, it was a creature of pure darkness, complete blackness, hungry, hungry for everything. This was the end of shadows and light. From now on, there would be only darkness.

It was still, watching the shadows around it. It could smell, almost taste their fear. And it tasted good.
