The Little Girl & The Shadows

The Little Girl & The Shadows

There was one a little girl who, like most children, played and danced with glee and carelessness. She, like most children was afraid of the shadows and what lied in them. She hid from them and was fearful of them. However, as time grew on, she found that she did not need to fear them. She needed to fear the monster that hid in the light. The monster that looked like everyone else and pretended to act like everyone else. So, she hid from the monsters in the light. She hid from them by dwelling in the shadows with the little monsters from her childhood. Those monsters became her friends and she became theirs. They sheltered her from the monsters of the light and cared for her. They cared for her more than anyone had ever cared. They cared more than her mother, father, siblings, and friends. They, unlike all the others, never left her. In the end, she died, and the shadows wept. The shadows had finally found someone to love them and they slipped away with the sands of time. They vowed to find her again. And they did. They found her again and again. She loved them every time and as did they. The End.
