On this planet Earth,  technology devours our lives, so close to a cyberpunk dystopia that the Shadow Creatures feed off of the consequences of our lives. They seep into your soul, break into your mind, and shatter the remains of your heart. They feed off of the suffering of humans and really anyone who can comprehend their manipulation. Although soon, when a great white flash appears in the sky, the situation is very different, for humans, robot, and shadow alike.
