Inspiration

It was just past 5 am, I was laid in bed, doomscrolling on TikTok, and I came upon this video of a guy, back facing the camera, taking a stand against the world in the night. The text on the video said "I’m all healed now, bring me the same exact person, I want a rematch", and it immediately inspired me. Five minutes later, I had this written.

Now it's far from finely written, true. But it came out quick, and it carried its message well in my eyes.

The underlying thoughts and emotions that came to me were the many fistfigths and beatings I have had to endure all throughout my primary and secondary schooling, some of which more brutal than others. I was never strong enough to fight back, and by the time I was, it was too late to defend myself.

The White Shadow title is about protecting those around me, which is what most of the narratives about White Shadow are about. But White Shadow is also about hunting those that wronged me, and about biting back.
