Shadow | A 100 Word Story

#282 Creatures of the Night

Their shadows met in secret every night when no one could bear witness but the night owl. While it hooted, they discussed and plotted what to do about the newcomer.

Rumor has it, she leaves no shadow even under the noonday sun. It was foretold a day would come when shadows would become extinct.

Everyone would be forced to live in truth where no shadows would be found. Something had to be done of this shadowless walker.

Peeking through the curtain of her home, she watched the shadows approach. She turned on a light and they scattered into the night.
