[WP] Throughout a persons life, they are given a hidden guardian. A creature that watches over their lifespan. When someone is murdered, the creature haunts the killer. You have been found, murdered. And your guardian is loose. | Thomas ran a shaking hand through his wet hair. He picked up the glass from the table, spilling onto his sleeve. He put the glass back on the table, his throat too tight to drink.

Instinctively, you look for your guardian, that little floaty seal you've always seen. But in a place beyond time, there is nowhere to see anything. Man the void is weird. It's so un... | |

I never did like graveyards much. My feelings towards them have only grown more grim, now that I reside in one. It's a pity they should bury me here, rotting in the soil with the maggots. I thought the afterlife would be more exciting, even if I was to be ravaged by hellfire for my crimes. Is a ... | |

They plot and scheme; meditate and dream upon their actions but never expect lives to change in the aftermath. I have seen it a hundred times, Johnny Big Shot spends his life dreaming about his promotion, but never thinks about the long trips away from his family ... | |

Bones are crushed and flesh is torn as I devoured the corpse. I feel my body creak as my bones shatter and are reforged, my skin flayed and then grown anew.
A new eye opens and looks toward my prey. He seems to sense my presence but he cannot see me. He cannot touch me just as I cannot touch him.
I watch him ... | |

One in the head, one in the heart. A .45 doesn't seem like a huge round, but it leaves a gruelling mess either way. As blood slowly seeped out of my wounds, I resigned myself to the fate. There isn't much that I could do anyway.

We are leeches, we latch onto subconsciousness of a human and feed off of the emotions. When a host dies, we fade back to our own realm/dimension/universe/whatever to use this energy to multiply and prosper. The purer the emotions the more power they give us, and thus we ... | |
