Shadows in my Soul
Okay, I was walking home late that night when I saw a shadow of a tree move nearby. I thought, it must be one of my friends playing a trick on me. Unfortunatley, I was dead wrong. Suddenly, a large shadow came out of the tree, and with a loud shreik lunged at me. I didn't know what to do so I sheilded myself with my arms when it phased through me; at least, that's what I thought it did.
A minute or two later, I felt an incredible amount of pain throughout my body and I couldn't breathe. That's when I realized what it was; a Shadow Theif. What they do is they merge with your shadow and then try to leave with it. As soon as I discovered what it was, I reached into my trenchcoat and pulled out my flask full of holy water. I popped the top and drank the whole thing. Almost instantly, the pain went away and I fell to the ground gasping for air.
I have always carried a pint of holy water in my trenchcoat since then. And my friend says "ha ha, shadowless person."

nevermore1331: Yes, light works very well on shadow creatures, and you're right, light wasn't the easiest thing to create on the spot back in the 18th Century. Now I have various weapons on my person for any situation, including a high-powered flashlight.
