It was a windy day and as the sky got dark
All I could see was shadows everywhere.
Shadows on the tall office buildings as I
walked past them as fast as my little legs could carry me.
But as I walked past them, they begun to pull towards me
Snaking cross the ground as fast as they could go.
I didn’t know if I would make it to my apartment before
they got me, aren’t shadows suppose to be friendly?
Why are they following me and do I even want to find out
At this point ?
Probably not, as I swipe my card I’m in the building and I pull
The door closed just as the shadows roll up.
When it didn’t come in I was relieved, for I was finally safe
As the shadows disappeared with a blink of my eye I
Wonder if the wind was playing a trick on me and the shadows
Were just in my head?

whoa…you capture that creepy feeling of things closing in…but my question is…did the shadows reappear in the corner of the far ceiling as you pulled your covers up to your chin?
Thanks, and good question I would say if the story would continue that shadows would have reappeared in corner of her room that night.
