PROLOGUE

A while ago, while I was walking I felt a sharp pain on my left flank. I couldn't realize where it had come from. Looking carefully I spotted a little tear on my t-shirt and beneath it a small but deep cut that started to bleed. I desperately searched for where it had come from. I had no idea of what happened. Then I saw it. All the way back in the corner of the alley, there was a small black thing that merged within the darkness, it was around 3 ft tall. The greenish black being was running towards a wall. I couldn't help but stagger at what just happened. Instead off Heating the wall the thing disappeared inside it as if merging itself into the shadow projected by the only lamp post in the alley. The appearance of that thing etched itself into my eyes. It had frail and long limbs like small twigs, and pitch black bat wings in place of arms with blades on the tips. The whole thing looked as if greased in a black oil. It had a round body and head, with long ears protruding from it. I kept staring at it l, although only for a second, until it moved towards me. That second felt like an eternity. When it came out from the shadow I could see black veins throughout its body and the black footprints its toad like feet left behind on the ground as it walked.
