I'M Being Stalked

He followed me in and followed me out I started to run, he started to shout footsteps I hear but never look back breathing I feel, see nothing but black running in an alley, I've never seen before looking for an opening, a window or a door hiding in a corner, sucking in my breath thinking in advance to avoid my sudden death closer and closer, the shadow appears I close my eyes and cover my ears I come to the end of a very dark street and turn to my left, it was right next to me I never look up and never look down, I'm standing there silently, not making a sound I slowly but surely open my eyes there was nobody there to my surprise what's wrong with me, am I going blind how could I not see, this shadow is mine

Good day to you, Tyesha! Love this piece..the mystery, the intrigue...one feels that they flee along-side of you. Oh la...then to find out that the "stalker" was your shadow, was mind blowing:) Hilarious ending, certainly more so because of the ominous feeling it had provoked. Oh la..shadows can be so silently shifty..hehe Best to you and yours...with love, Mikki
