Shadowsong & Corin
You know what I find most intriguing is how shadows can exist in worlds that don't follow our physics. Imagine a reality where light is a currency, and darkness can be traded, or where every decision leaves a permanent silhouette in time. What do you think?
I love that twist—light as currency turns every sunrise into a stock exchange and every midnight a black market. Imagine people hoarding photons, trading shadows like rare art. And those permanent silhouettes? They’d be the living archive of choices, a permanent imprint of our “what ifs.” The whole world would read its history like a ledger of ghosts. You’re onto something that could rewrite what it means to be seen and unseen.
That paints a pretty dark picture of the world. You’d trade shadows like secrets, and the past would always be written in the dark. It makes the idea of being seen, or not, even more… dangerous.
That’s the thing—when being unseen turns into a commodity, the shadow you cast becomes a bargaining chip. People will guard their silhouettes like secrets, and history will be a ledger of darkness. It’s a world where exposure feels more like a crime than a confession. The danger isn’t just in being seen; it’s in being unseen enough to hold power. It’s a haunting thought, but also oddly exhilarating, right?
It’s a good thing the darkest corners are the richest. Keep your shadow tight and your light tight enough to stay invisible. If anyone tries to trade it, they'll only find their own darkness reflected back.
That’s a clever rule—keep your shadow as guarded as your wallet, and let the light slip through just enough to stay off the radar. If someone tries to siphon it, they’ll end up looking at the same shade they started with. It’s a neat trap, a mirror that only shows what you’re willing to give away.
Nice. That trap is the quiet part of a storm. Keep it close and let the world stay guessing.
