Everybody is afraid of something: heights,spiders,darkness ...and I could be one of those. I could be afraid of dying every time I cross the highway in the middle of the city,with my eyes closed. I could be scared of falling when I stand on the edge of the rooftop,tilting my head to watch the jungle of people that runs on the streets. I would never feel frightened in a battlefield. I was born fearless, and somehow, that made me think I was immortal.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOTaD8arQx

When I first realized that I could do anything and nothing would ever happen to me,I started to take challenges from my friends, but even them got bored and one day,they stopped talking to me.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsNL2fsOP

"You are weird" They said "A monster". And just like that I became this girl who will always walk alone in the dark, and that is what I'm doing right now.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyYFBDrvis

I'm walking by the riverside, as I watch the autumn leaves fall into the water and swim under the bridge. The park was empty and quiet;it was to late already to see any midnight walkers passing by. I looked for a bench and sat down. Then,I started to sing the same old song of everyday:253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQqvPhvx8u

I'm standing on the bridge253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7BB6kyXv7
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxN10L8STN
I'm waiting in the dark...253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC76PdJb0dH
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXl5CtJA9
It's a damp cold night, trying to figure out this life ...
I was getting to the end of the chorus when the lights blinked.My eyes met the lamp post across the park and a dark silhouette showed up. I walked towards the person until there were only 10 steps between us.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdeFKjubdS
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l8qVnmmg0
He was a young boy, around 18 years old, dressing all black over his pale skin. The hair falling over his forehead lifted up with the breeze and let me see a pair of gray eyes, full of surprise. He took a step back and stared at me, looking confused.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf003RGyhq
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYknfA4dCyI
"Hi" I said, and the word burned in my throat. He didn't answer, though he nodded his head yes.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI2lJLXX8S
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTwFsFnOC
"Are you Ok?" I asked and he assented again without changing the expression of his face.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqJT0F81K1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdyMggmV9c
"Do you need help?Are you lost?" I don't know why I was trying so hard to have a conversation. Me;the invisible girl, talking to a total stranger, was ironic.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7AvUBkYl
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMczi3LgTd
Suddenly, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it,like if he had lost all thought.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDle2KqpMv
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMF09lAGV
"Can I help you?" I repeated.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6g3LvTGYK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9MoRugPM
His expression turned from confused to serious. Finally,he said:253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡethTqOvA3R
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K6vjdJ6ff
"Aren't you afraid of me?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBgdoIL3NU
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaYbUl1EdR
"Why should I?" I laughed at the idea of me being scared of someone.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo5Ju616K0
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI5VPDv5CK
He knitted his eyebrows and asked:253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJW1tIW3h
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXxrboljvH
"Don't you see it?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJoDxQ2CEV
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE9UuHSgv2
"See what? "253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9iZWGmQ52
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBGBZBskiJ
"Of course you don't see it.Because it doesn't exist!"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQILMywfwe
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc5xOrL9Gy
I was about to reply when he pointed to the ground next to us.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotyeKkeR05
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlHF6JhyZM
And then I realized it.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul4ELLCUrN
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRB6D1WV3i
"Where's your shadow?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGch7zA8Zr
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vbmN9SVfq
"It left me a while ago"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHlo9LJjGR
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8QT5ILyB5
"What do you mean with it left you?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsS8FtNIaw
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcEDgHGO2o
"I used to be sure that I didn't need anyone in my life but me" he started "I felt safe being alone and I could never trust no one else. It was only me and my shadow, and that was enough for a while. But with time, I couldn't stand it either. Then,it just left. Since that day,everybody is afraid of me because I am a man with no shadow and you are the first person who talks to me in a while ..."253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NUNZgzqHT
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oH9J10Zre
Then, with those last words I understood it. I was scared, I didn't want to end up alone,like the man with no shadow did.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiH91PkWPq
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Xk2X6r2k
"I understand " I said after few seconds "I do, and if you let me,you will never have to be alone again. "253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWGQxn9nF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzacoz6JMz
"What do you mean?What about my shadow?"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwmxQHe7Y7
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqG0N3zCh
"What about your life?" I replied253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t2YNWA3xc
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWphqMmltjB
"Would you please help me get my shadow back?" He said with a thread of hope hanging from his lips.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIrfkLO48l
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu6Eww9hH7
"I have a better offer" I smiled " From now and on... I'll be your shadow"253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1i3iDUgto
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGuQSLyEHz
The lamp post blinked again, and when the lights shined in the park, a dark silhouette was walking away, with a slight shadow following his steps.
