You've been chosen. You don't understand right now, but you harness a special gift. A gift that can shape the world as it stands, so long as you decide to use it properly. There are many different ways you can use your gift, but your actions define who you are. Ultimately, it can be the choice that treads the fine line of life and death. You need to remember, you've been trusted with this. You can only hope that you make the right decision. You'll be meeting people who are like you. From all different treads of life, young and old, and they all share the same goal as you. Will you trust them? Will you use them and toss them aside? Will they be able to trust you? I cannot say. One day soon, you'll find the answers to these questions, and much, much more. Prepare yourself, for once you are chosen, you won't be able to take anything back. Welcome, to a whole new world. May you enjoy your stay.
As it stands right now, you're just a normal person. Maybe you're rich, maybe you're poor. You could be a lawyer, or you could be a bum. What you do and who you are aren't doesn't matter. It's all superficial, the important thing is that you have an untold potential. For awhile now, you've been targeted. You haven't had the power to be aware of this though. It's manifested itself in some form against you. It's driven to make sure that you fall. It'll continue to attack you if you don't take some sort of stand against it. The changes could be apparent for the people around you. You could be less driven for your goals, you could be getting sick more often, or in one of the worst case scenarios you've wanted to be alone, completely isolating yourself from society. This is because they're attracted to you.
I'm talking about the shadows. They feed for people like you, and they think that you happen to be one of the more delicious meals. They can sense that you're troubled, and you continuing on as you stand are just going to keep them coming. They find you a challenge, they find you exhilarating. Some of the smarter ones know. They know that you're a threat, they know about that potential that sets you apart as unique from everybody else. They realize that you're a threat, they realize that you need to be eliminated. They're the source of how you've been feeling lately, and they only keep grounded.

There's been a lot of violence lately, even more so than usual. The police have tried their hardest to get to the underlying cause of it all. Surprisingly, they've come up empty handed. Fortunately enough it hasn't been completely public. A lot of it has been hidden from view under the reasoning that they want to keep the public safe. Ignorance is bliss, and as long as people weren't aware, there wouldn't be panic. Besides, it's not like it was anything new. If anything it was just more self harm, a bit more of domestic violence, and gang activity has been the norm of the city for awhile. Or that's what they would say to the public. Was that all though? No, there had been even worse. Nobody would notice it unless they searched, and the really meddlesome people had already been payed off. Everything was just as it was.
That was all going to change. You decided to go shopping for some reason. You felt the need to go, even if it was just replacing that toothbrush that you've had for a few months. You decided to go to the shopping centre, considering that they have everything. Unbeknownst to everyone there, the new wave of unfortunate events was already set in motion. Out of all the people shopping there, one of them was different. That's because he had a gun.
And you'd soon discover the power that you're holding inside.
