Name: Tallah Walker

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Occupation: Currently in-between jobs

Place of Residence: Dallas, TX

Bio: Originally born in Dallas, Texas, Tallah led a pretty normal life. She was actively involved in school, joining many different sports and clubs every year. She was semi-popular among her peers, which led to an active social life as well. Despite all of these activities she managed to keep her grades up at a high B average. Everything was going smoothly in her life up until her junior year of high school.

Tallah only saw it out of the corner of her eye in the beginning. She would occasionally glimpse a shadowy figure standing in the corner of a room, but when she turned to look at it, it disappeared. Slightly unnerved but still not believing her eyes, she just shrugged it off as a trick of the light. As time progressed, the specter’s visits became more frequent and visible to Tallah. She became worried and told her parents and friends. They were sympathetic, but none of them seemed to really believe her. She gave up trying to get help and attempted to ward it off herself, which also didn’t work. In the end, she was forced to succumb to the apparition’s frightening but harmless torment.

After graduating from high school, Tallah decided to travel before she entered into college. She planned to go on a road trip from Texas to Wisconsin. She also secretly hoped that she might be able to escape her shadowy stalker by leaving the state. And so, she took off from her house and headed north. Her trip eventually brought her to the little town of Rainey in Iowa.

Tallah thought it was a nice, quiet place to spend the night before continuing on her way to Wisconsin. She paid for a hotel room and went up to put her bags in it. While she was doing that, she was dismayed to find that the shadow person had followed her. It stood poised in the darkened far corner of the room where the light from the lamp didn’t reach. She couldn’t get away from it no matter where she went. Tallah spent the night there anyways, numb to the shadow’s presence after two years of seeing it. The next day, she packed up her things and took off on the road again to continue her trip, but she couldn’t find her way out of the town. It seemed like every turn took her right back to Rainey. Resigned to her permanent state of being lost, Tallah paid for another hotel room and moved back in, wondering how she was ever going to get out of this place.

Now for my stalker :)

Name: Waldo

Appearance: A shadowy, ghost-like figure that appears in dark corners or at nightfall. It takes on the partially distorted image of a human, as though it were a disfigured person with joints that don't bend in a natural way. Sprouting from its back are a pair of large bat-like wings, except the wings have no flesh. They are composed of bones like a skeleton.

Whenever it shows itself, it only appears in a silhouette-like pose and hardly moves except to follow Tallah if she tries to get away from it. When the shadow disappears, it leaves behind a fresh bloodstain tracing its position upon whatever surface it appeared on. However Tallah is the only one that can see the blood, so she has no way to prove to anyone that Waldo actually exists.
