Here's my dream:

Imagine: It's an apocalyptic world, but not in a way you would expect. Rather than the fall of humanity, there was a population boom. There are so many people, everyone literally has to live in skyscrapers.

Those who are, figuratively speaking, higher up, the government and whatnot, have martial laws set into place. The young and arrogant think that it is merely "The Man" trying to keep the little people down, but for once, they are looking out for their people... or at least, they think they are...

Somebody noticed something dark was happening. Apparently, God disliked the fact that there were too many people, so he gathered the vengeful spirits cursed to wander the Earth for all eternity, and bound them to the shadows. The results were horrifying monsters that even defied gravity itself.

Now, every night, when the martial law is set into place, the darkness comes alive, and sinister shapes crawl along the outsides of the skyscrapers, mingling and plotting with one another. Horizontal and vertical have no effect on them, as everywhere is a surface they can walk on. They have been given a task to redeem them from the sins or tortures that had bound them to the world for all eternity: decrease the human population.

Now, there are living shadows, hunting and slaughtering humanity. Nobody is safe. Men, women, boys, girls, and especially infants are killed, mutilated, and devoured, until not a single trace of their ever existing is left behind. For a lot of the humans, there is something out there to get them.
