Shadowlight

	All around you, cast by the brightness of light, are shadows.
	They flicker wildly at times, and at times are still.
	They distort what you see, making things seem larger, taller, and 

darker.
	In this world, many fears are caused by the shadows.
	Shadows from light are the fear of children, who see in them the worst 

evil.
	But, for most people, the fears are caused by shadows of the mind.
	Memories of dark things and dark deeds haunt you.
	When some folk look into the shadows, behind them and before them,
	They cannot discern the truth.
	All around you, cast by the brightness of light, are shadows....
