_______________________________________________

Almost everybody in the world can say that, at one point in time, the world has shattered and fallen from below their very feet. They then will tell you that a descent into darkness occurred, whether it be guilt, remorse, grief, anger, willing to, or not---any one of these emotions could very well be responsible for one's plummet to rock bottom.

However, what these people will also say that a daring escape was made. Most of the time, people find success attempting the arduous climb back into normalicy, and thrive back in the upperworld, with the living.

These are the lucky ones.

A very small pool of humanity finds itself stuck in the shadows, having what little remained of their life before their fall charred, stepped on, torched, and destroyed before their very eyes. Having to start with nothing from the get-go may have been kinder.

These are the misfornunate. Cases that normal people would hear on the news and coo their remorse, but forget about a day later.

Evelyn Dalton has been a cold case for nearly three decades. Law enforcment figured the involvement of the mob, seeing as that the young girl's family was dirty, and affiliated with the mafia. As the years went on, the dedication to the location of the girl wanned...

And those who dwelled permanently in the shadows claimed her.

Now a fully fledged assassin with the weight of the world on her shoulders, things are bound to get complicated.

And they do when the ghosts come knocking at her door.
