He only came out every few hundred years,when someone called upon him.He has no face and without a face he is nothing,he would search the world until he found a face.He vowed that he would never give up.He would look through every window until he found the face of a child,a boy. And then when the time comes he would rip the boys face off and wear it as his own.Maybe then he would feel less...hollow?

He was searching the city's of Spain,when he finally looked through the right window. The boy was beautiful, his face was so full and gracious nowhere near as hollow.He devised a brilliant plan,he would hide in a dark forgotten corner of the boys room,one that is barely glanced at,not that they could see him anyway.And then in a few days,he would take the boy to his underground lair and rip his face off.Then maybe he could be something.

The boy was aware that there was a presence in his room,he was able to convince his mother of this presence.She was concerned for her son but she could do nothing,both the mother and the sun were labeled insane.

The boy thought that the old going under the covers and counting to five would get rid of hollow.Oh,how did that amuse hollow.He would hover over the boy every night drooling blood on him,the boy didn't dare wipe the disgusting liquid off his face.

Hollow finally decided to end the boys terror.One night he slid out of the forgotten corner,and drug the boy to the depths of hell by the face.

The child now resides in Germany,with a different family,happy to not be so hollow anymore.

But the legend still stands that hollow will come out once you read his story and his name is called upon,so how many forgotten corners do you have?

A little girl in New York was the daughter of a German man and woman.The child was said to have a gift,her father told her she was full of shit and was just talking to an over load of imaginary friends.But the man was indeed real.He told her of his story,the girl was amazed that he was able to talk for he did not have a mouth,nor eyes,or a nose,not even ears.

He would hover over her at night and tell her that he feels hollow,he would cry that he wanted a face,real tears.He continued to amaze the girl.The girl thought he was joking when he said he wanted her face,so jokingly she volunteered it.The girl was never seen again,the last thought of hollow was in 1913.

Hollow shows hi faceless face every one or two hundred years,he vows to search until he finds the perfect face.He has no particular location,he will search the world until he finds a face.
