Black Stealth
This is a story I was making up a character on www.heromachine.com. It's a dark story about a superhero named Black Stealth who can sink into Darkness. A little confusing, but you'll understand more as you go along. This is a prologue I just made up today.
What does the dark conceal?
Many people ask this question, children mostly. What exactly hides in the black? Monsters and faries? Demons and Angels?
It’s a good question, really. Nobody can see through black. Nobody can see through a complete darkness.
Except me.
Everyone, adults included, get a chill when they enter a darkness so complete, so real, that they question themselves if they exist in the black.
The answer is: they don’t.
The dark is a whole other world. A world where nobody feels safe. The dark is no one’s home.
Except mine.
Imagine this. Monsters and faries lurk in this darkness. But once the Light comes, they run. They hide. They disappear. They vanish. What if this was true? Then the question would be posed.
What does the dark conceal?
As far as anyone knows, the dark holds no secrets. As far as anyone knows, the dark tells no lies. What you see, or don’t see, is what you get.
Of course, that’s as far as anyone knows. I am beyond what anyone knows.
You ask yourself, what does the dark conceal?
I am the only one with the answer to this question.
The dark conceals me.
