~~~The Dark Genesis~~~
▪️
~~~~~The Birth of Thee Nightman began in the fractured ❤️ of a child. Arin, a twelve year old boy, was on the precipice of a Transformation that would redefine the boundaries of extremity. The Catalyst was a Toxic blend of substances & neglect, as his Mother, Ann, handed him Acid & Liquor without a second thought. . . The City, with its Labyrinth of streets & shadows, became His playground!
▪️
~~~~~That night, Fueled by Hallucinations & Alcohol, Young Arin Stormed through the City like a Banshee with no conscience. His small frame, hunched with Anger & Confusion, left Chaos in His wake. He Flooded a Church by Breaking the Water Main, Shattered the Windows of two cars, & stumbled through the night in a Haze of Destruction! The Police Found Him eventually, A Wild ~ Eyed 👁️ Child with NO Sense Of Self Preservation . . .
▪️
~~~~~Arrested for Underage Consumption & A litany of other Charges , Arin was thrown into a Cold Cell. The Walls breathed Heavily & Seemed To Close in around Him as the Drugs Coursed through his Veins , & he Shivered Uncontrollably. The Light outside the Barred Windows Grew Dimmer & Dimmer, Reflecting the Darkness that Was taking Hold of Him From Within. The Officer on Duty Dialed The Number He Had on File For His Mother, But She, In Her Own Drunken Stupor, Hung up Abruptly. Abandoned & Terrified, Arin Could Do Nothing but Wait for an eventual outcome that Would Define His Next Ten Years . . .
