Summary
A shadow flickers somewhere overhead, as black as the darkened sky. You wonder, for just a moment, if it's him. The Mothman.
If you ask anyone, he's a myth, a scary story that you tell when you're out in the dark with your friends and you want to give them a good fright.
He's the omen of death, it's believed, and if you see him, you're sure to die. When tragedy is about to strike, when death is about to reign down, the Mothman will appear on the scene, dark and wild and ready to see it through.

Summary
And then you let your arm swing down. The chisel chips away fragments of marble in flying flashes. The project begins.
It will be a gargoyle, one day, much like all of your other pieces. That is the name that you've carved for yourself in this city - that is the fame that you've sculpted. You're commissioned quite often to build these creatures, to twist them and warp them into something akin to art, having them placed on top of buildings like solitary statues of the night. Monsters twisted out of blocks of stone.

Kon takes a step outside, moving past the threshold of the lab for the first time in his life. When he glances behind him, Tim's got his back turned and is thoroughly enamoured by whatever he's doing.
He could leave, Kon thinks. Right now, right now, right now.

Summary
A larger wave crashes against the side of the boat and you sway on your feet as the wooden vessel rocks and groans with the movement, the water beating against the sides constantly - as if it's alive, as if it's trying to pull you further under. You know the stories told about the Gotham Harbour - you were warned when you fled to this place.
"Don't go in the water." people say. "There's something out there."

Summary
Dead, sure, but not gone. Even after Jason's death, it's like he's still here. It's an ever-heavy presence laying over your shoulders and wrapping around you. Sometimes you swear you can even feel his breath on your cheek.
But that's crazy, you tell yourself. It can't be real. He's gone, he's gone, he's gone.
