Drunk Dale
He lives in the alley and drinks a lot.
Captain Gremis doesn’t like talking to him, he scares the children with his stories. “Take what he says with a grain or two of salt.”
He sees the children play during the day then the shadow comes and swoops them away. He tried to help, but couldn’t stop it. It was outside the building, then it was inside the building.
Bedrooms: Where dreams come and go.
He never sees the shadow during the day. Only at night. Shifting from here to there, never in a straight line.
He saw the lanterns go out and the shadow grows, a shadow within a shadow. It reached its arm out, a silhouette of something that isn’t there. Then it faded away and it came out of the corner of the dark room, reaching over the bed, coming down over the bed and then the child was gone.
He actually gets paid a bit to keep the lanterns lit at night.
