White Shadow

For The Vocal Epic Beginnings Challenge

Whether he was real or an Urban Legend he scared anyone who was out late alone.

The rumour was that he had been abused and attacked and the gang tried to drown him in bleach.

He should have died but despite the excruciating pain he survived, but his skin, hair and eyes were transparent white.

The gang who did this were pardoned because he was an immigrant, and they didn't mean to hurt him. The judge and jury were fine with it, and he swore revenge on the human race who did not consider him human.

He would lurk in graveyards and dark woods, and any lone person was fair game.

Their bodies would be found tied to trees or graves, lacerated and soaked in bleach, and finally forced to drink bleach. He had decided the human race deserved his pain.

Policemen and Judges were favourite targets.

The police patrolled in pairs but he found ways to split them up.

Judges were given security but he always found them alone.

No one knew where he was, he was a ghost, and those who saw him described him as one, although most did not survive.

The White Shadow knew how to kill and disappear.

The police used dogs and devices but there was no way to predict who would be next. Judges and Police were prime targets but anyone was a target.

Children seemed to be safe, but religious figures were not.

Priests, Rabbis and Nuns were taken by The White Shadow.

There were no sexual assaults just continual vicious murders.

People still went out alone, because it was just to the corner shop, or across the park, but often that was the last time they were seen alive.

The White Shadow's Revenge was nowhere near finished.
