Creatures In The Shadows

After vanishing mysteriously (definitely not abducted, just misplaced for a bit), I make a grand comeback to my bewildered family after a whopping fourteen-year hiatus. But where on earth have I been all this time, one might ask? Well, I was casually "taken in" by a not-so-friendly gang that had a bone to pick with the government. You know, just your typical neighborhood welcoming committee. And what exactly was I up to during my extended vacation with the gang? Oh, you know, just brushing up on some "basic" survival skills. Nothing too fancy—just learning how to fend off government-concealed creatures and evade the watchful eye of a secret organization or two. Easy-peasy, right? Now that I'm back in the land of the living, what are my goals, you wonder? Don't have any. Unless I meet those 'government-concealed creatures.'
