Them, who Crush in the Dark

This is the end. The sun has set upon this world, coating it in the cold darkness of night. But this time day will not return. For this darkness has a name, and will not let Sol cast its golden blessing upon us again. The shining tomorrow, which once promised progress and enlightenment clad in spotless glass and glistening steel has been shattered. The mightiest of our heroes, exemplars of our virtue, justice and strength have been devoured by the hungering maws of Them, Who Lurk in the Dark. The flames of hope, which once burned bright, have been reduced to smoldering ashes, suffocated by the whispering shadows. In the face of The End, you will put on the mantle of one of the last superheroes, who by cruel trick of fate or by their expertise has so far been spared by the ensuing calamity. Will you become a beacon of salvation for those still alive, fighting your fears for the sake of others? Or will Darkness find its way into your heart? Only time will tell, but for now, these things are true: The world is dark. And you are alive.
