The+Attack+of+the+Shadows

__**Chapter 1: Prologue**__
So, this is it. The world is in total darkness. Literally. Stocks in flashlights have skyrocketed while sunscreen is completely out of business. The term "whiter than sour cream" isn't even a joke anymore. I'm guessing you are probably wondering what happened to turn are ordinary crazy world into this weird crazy world. Well then, I'll tell you from the top. No, it's not because ice sank in my story in science class, that caused China to nuke the U.S. and sent all the forks in the universe spiraling towards Jupiter. This is because (pause for dramatic effect) of the shadows.

It all started when I was running on this concrete wall. All of a sudden I fell and hit my head on the concrete floor below. My shadow just stood there, towering above me. Laughing. Mocking me. Then it ran off with the shadow of the wall (shadows don't weigh much). I'm still not sure why, but I knew that this couldn't be good.

__Chapter 2: The Shadows Unite__
I woke up in the hospital the next day. I told the doctors my story, but they all said I was crazy. I pointed out to them that some of the shadows of the things in the room were missing, such as one of the beds and even a doctor's shadow. They noticed this and tried to find an explanation, but, of course, there was none.

After they let me go, I started searching for my shadow. Meanwhile, shadows across the globe started disappearing. It was on TV and in the newspapers, and scientists were working day and night to find a reason why such a thing would be happening. I often ran into other people like me, trying to find where all the shadows went. After 4 days of fruitless searching, I finally found them, and I had my video camera on me.

There was a whole shadow city ahead of me, although it looked more like a giant army camp. It was really strange; you could see the shadows of buildings, tanks, and moving people, except nobody was there... I saw shadows running in caring shadow schools, shadow food, and even shadow forests. I guess one of the shadows must have seen me, because a bunch of shadow soldiers opened fire on me. It didn't do much, seeing as shadow bullets couldn't leave the ground and only poked holes in the bottom of my shoes, but I ran anyways.

__Chapter 3: The Army Takes Action__
Not very smart of them, huh?

Anyways, I went to show my video to policemen, members of the CIA, and eventually even the President. In the meantime, more holed, shoes kept popping up, and so, of course, the military had to get involved. I went with on their first attack.

Have you ever seen about 500 men in camouflage running around wearing steel boots jumping all over the place while shooting at the ground? Believe me it's a very interesting sight. It doesn't work that well either, trying to kill a shadow. The only injuries sustained that day were from friendly fire, bother shadows and people.

__Chapter 4: What Happened Next__
Because you probably want to know, why is the world so dark? Well, shadow food doesn't ever go away. You can eat all you want, but it never disappears. The shadows, however, grow fat from eating too much and don't like to move much anyways. So that's what happened. All the shadows grow too fat and merged into this giant blob covering the world in total darkness. The End.
