Shadow City

Write about an urban landscape where shadows come to life at night and hold their own secret society.

This prompt requires the writer to balance the familiar and the extraordinary. Explore the way cityscapes, which are so often perceived as mundane, can transform into something extraordinary under the cover of darkness. What are the politics of this shadow society? How do they interact with the human inhabitants of the city, or do they at all? This prompt encourages the exploration of unusual perspectives, and the building of a covert world existing within our own.
