<Snipped quote by The World>

Salvador: ... And how does any of that change with the existence of this thing?
*A large, disturbing creature of pure Black fades into view, resting on my shoulders. Its eyes and saliva comprised of a White substance that seems unnaturally juxtaposed against the black, looking almost like it should be emitting a glow of some kind even if it doesn't. The space around the creature seems to darken.*
It feeds off of stress and negativity, so it often perches on my shoulders. Samantha has taken to calling it absence.
