Michael was different, but not in the way the most ordinary person would think. Every day he would arrive at his Government job on the dot, supervising the individuals who came in and out of the capital building. This job would appear mundane to the average person, but to Michael, it was one to be called extraordinary. Every day he would see new things, but not the normal things he was supposed to be on the look for. They were things that he could not explain to his fellow peers about. In reality, if there was one, they were things he wasn't sure anyone else saw. At first, when this all began about a month ago, he thought he was going crazy or insane, but these entities continued to appear. Almost every person who walked through the capital doors had what he believed to have been a shadow at first. But the closer and closer Michael looked at the individuals, the more he came to terms with the idea that these "shadows" were much much bigger. Every time he saw them, he could feel them latching onto the innocent capital visitors, but he wasn't sure of their intentions. On this particular day, he decided to focus on the entity that latched onto the small child, who was holding hands with her mother. Most of the time, Michael had not had the feeling that this creature had any sinister goals, but this time felt different. It was almost as if the child's innocent features turned pale and cold. This could not all be in his head, could it?
