In the year 840, mankind has found itself a new enemy. An enemy that's beyond anything they have ever encountered; an entity, a force, some might even call it just by referring to it as 'It'. It feeds on fear and terror, and it thrives on extermination, killing, and somehow, martyrdom.
It kills silently, and is often very silent in doing so. Those who have encountered 'it' have never lived to tell the tale, and those that have escaped from it, always forget about what they saw.
Eye-witness reports state that 'it' is intangible and "cold". Others say that it appears to be an unknown form of matter, taking the form of amorphous black shapes and structures. It is very difficult to observe, especially because it dissipates immediately when exposed to light.
Those brave enough to find 'it' and want to know more, are only so lucky as to return back to their homes, barely alive. But luckily, some researchers have discovered a way to get close to 'it' without being affected by its mysterious powers. That is by wearing a special suit that has been hallowed by priests, and of course has an internal flashlight that can repel 'it' when needed.
Also, on a side note, on that year, 840, humans have given 'it' a name: Night Terror, or NT for short.
Current Testing has been unable to tell if NT is organic or non-organic. Despite the lack of any visible nervous systems or observable organic components, NT displays behavior consistent with an active consciousness.
NT manifests in total darkness, and how this occurs in unknown. NT is capable of 'floating' and can alter it's density, allowing it to "pass through" every opening, large or small. It prefers dark and isolated locations in which to settle after it's initial formation and will remain there until it is "ready".
NT grows with the absorption of biological material. NT will “attack” living things by solidifying portions of itself and using these “appendages” to bludgeon, cut and crush subjects. The tracking and selection methods used by NT are currently not understood. Upon disabling a subject, NT will forcibly tear and crush tissue within the main mass until it is "absorbed".

That's it for now, though I won't be making anything like this any time soon, because school starts soon. Really soon.
Oh and online dictionaries and search engines helped me a lot in the making of this short story, especially in finding synonyms and antonyms.
Thanks for reading
Feedback is appreciated, though must be constructive and reasonable, and may or may not contain more than 5 sentences in a paragraph, depending on the post.
