Adam Samson wakes up to find himself trapped within a darkness that he seeks to escape. In addition, he has no recollection as to how he came to wake up there, though, that may be because he can't remember anything from before the darkness. Now, Adam wanders through his surroundings in the hope of finding light to lift the obscurity he woke up in. But, just how will he react to the return of his lost memories, and will he wish to go back from where he came?
This story is simply the result of an extra credit assignment, for which we were to write a 500 word short story using a given image-now the story cover. I felt that the story I wrote was good enough to be published for the public here, so, now I present it to you.
To the best of my knowledge, this should still count as an original work, even if it was inspired by an image.
I don't own the song mentioned within the story.

The Weight of Shadows
Adam's life has never been his own. Raised under the shadow of a cold, domineering father, he was forced into a life of violence at a young age. Trained to be ruthless and taught that power is the only currency that matters, Adam's existence has always been about survival. Beneath the hardened exterior, though, lies the weight of deep emotional scars-ones that even time hasn't been able to heal. Just as Adam begins to unravel under the pressure of his past, an unexpected event sends his life spiralling out of control. Everything he thought he knew is shattered, and the fragile balance he maintained between survival and self-destruction crumbles. Struggling with the aftermath, Adam's world turns upside down, forcing him to confront the ghosts of his past and the dark path he's been set on. Driven by the overwhelming need to reclaim his sense of self, Adam decides to target the one thing that has always held him back, his father's empire. But revenge comes at a cost, and as Adam teeters on the edge of despair, he must decide whether destroying his father's legacy will free him or finally push him over the brink.

A Miscalculation In Space
He knows he'll be dooming them if he falls, but he's tired, his body is breaking apart, held together on a higher being's whim only. He wonders if there'll be another to replace him. He wonders if there will be none. It's rather silly, really, since he won't even be around to witness that. The crowd, the rage and bloodthirst palpable in the air will ensure that. If he does not fall on his own, others will force him to. Or, in other words, the typical start of Error being forced to jump into the Void one way or another, in this case into the NaJ universe! The cover art belongs to irodimmatcha on deviantart(will take down if the artist asks me to)! Updates will be highly inconsistent. Edit: Now cross posted on Ao3 under the same username!
