An ex-con plagued with frequent blackouts and newly discovered super-powers tries to fill the gaps in his memory, searching for clues to the identity of the brutal killer stalking his family. But his nemesis looks exactly like him, has powers of his own, and likes to commit his murders on camera. But is his family really danger? Are his powers and the villain even real, or are they just figments of his shattered mind? 

The Shadow of the World is the first episode of Sand, a gritty "Dark Knight" meets "Memento" superhero series, and the prequel to the novel Children of the Plague.

**As of June 5, 2016, I am updating this story and will share it in its entirety here on Wattpad.
** Readers of Children of the Plague: This is a much darker story.

3 years ago, my Step Dad adopted a son. His name was Hunter. For 13 years of his life, Hunter was neglected and abused by his parents. Beaten and raped, Hunter knew nothing good of the world. His Father eventually became a socio-path and shot the Mother. But as he was about to kill Hunter, Police arrived. The Dad shot himself instead. Hunter is now 16 and has been living in my family for 3 years. It's an understatement to say that we don't get along. Hunter is just angry at the world. He drinks and smokes and swears and fights. He kicks me and punches me simply because he's scared. He pushes everyone away. He has flashbacks and nightmares and can't seem to take anymore. Though I know he has reasons for being such an inconsiderate asshole, I still hate him. Our family has now moved to Cyprus. We're only staying for a while, so we just got a small appartment. Bad part about that? It's got 2 rooms. Me and Hunter have to share. At first I hate it. But then over the weeks, I begin to see how broken Hunter Storm really is. He's not just a dick, he's scared. And I'm slowly starting to comfort him through his troubles. We're getting somewhere, but then the worst possible thing happens. But strangley, it's bringing us closer. He's sleeping in my bed, he's crying to me, he's holding my hand. I'm holding him at night, I'm wearing his hoodies, I'm smiling at his touch. Before I even realize it, I'm in love. { Strong Language Throughout! Includes Physical/Sexual Abuse Scenes & Sex Please Don't Read If Bad Language Makes You Cry.

In life, we do things we regret, or that we wish we could wipe from our memory forever. At the age of 15, I didn't think I'd regret anything until I was an adult. I considered myself care free. I lived life one day at a time. Well, as much as a 15 year old can. But in life, there are also things that we can't change, that we can't forget. Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever. For me, it was one night, that set in motion a series of events that I wouldn't be able to forget, even if I tried to. *************************** My life was spectacular, or cool, but I was content, and that's all that mattered. I wasn't overly popular, I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I didn't live in a mansion. I did have a great boyfriend, and amazing friends, and hell, I wasn't doing too bad in school either. But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong. When I found my parents dead the next day in a serial killers wet dream, my naive self decided the best thing I could do, was run, giving up everything I loved. After 2 years, 3 dead members of the gang and a new school, I was found. When secrets are unraveled and with the FBI somehow involved, nothing is as it ever seemed.

Dangerous. Evil. Alluring. These are some of the ways to describe a shadow and to some extent, it was true... or at least, that's how Issac Finkelstein viewed his shadows. For Issac was merely a man trying to move on from the tragedies he endured, but the shadows clung onto him - begging, pleading for him to break free from what he knew and embrace the darkness in him. While it was tempting to say yes, Issac refuses to give in and tries to ignore the alluring, almost magnetic pull that the shadows have on him. But Issac can't refuse forever. For a prophecy hangs over him and it speaks of the shadows and the darkness he is destined to bring into his world and that of another. It speaks of a monster that he is destined to become, a war that is to determine Avalon's fate and a fight that will either claim his life or that of his daughter for the two are one and the same; their fates intertwined as she was the light to his shadow. But tragically, a daughter's love cannot prevent what is to come for even the shadows are capable of eclipsing the light and in the presence of darkness... No one is safe. ~~~ Note: I do not own certain characters [characters that are not owned by me belong in relation to my sisters, @GeekyCookie1 and @Sci-Briana14] or characters from the TMNT 2012 universe, the Henry Danger show or anything that is referencing Sonic and/or Mario Kart.

His hands rush to pick up thin dollar bills leaving small paper cuts on his fingers and I can feel the anxiety seeping off of his body. Sweat collecting into a small bead on his neck as he says something like, "You don't know who my boss is, bitch." I press the metal deeper into his scalp, saying I don't give a fuck about who his boss is and if any money is missing I'll take it in the form of bodies. I pull a long strand of brown hair out of my mouth as he tosses a bag into my hand. With a slight smile through my ski mask, I shoot two tiles out in the ceiling before darting out the store and into a back alley. The cashier's nametag ringing in my head as I ran. Cedric. * Wren Parker. A young woman with a troubled past attends her sister's wedding after years of separation.

I saw this WP on Reddit, and I had a lightbulb moment. Since the age of 14, you've noticed a monster stalking you. A few years later, you've noticed it seems very protective over you and will go through extreme measures to protect you. It's usually friendly, but it seems threatening when your childhood friend is around. I changed "Monster" to a shadow, but is it a shadow really? Since a young teen, Damien has always noticed s͟o͟m͟e͟t͟h͟i͟nΝŸβ€ŠΝŸg, that something is a figure in the corner of his eyes. He thought he was just going crazy, till one day it appears before him. He decided to confront this figure, but gets a weird outcome. "π‘Šβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ π‘‘β„Žπ‘–π‘›π‘˜ 𝐼 π‘Žπ‘š?"
