My Shadow

My shadow looks at me with its blank, lifeless eyes as it fills the ground around me to the point that it doesn't even look like me anymore and every time I move, it gets even more sinister and disturbing. My shadow is like the lifeless void that is in my heart. A wide grin forms on my shadow scaring me sending chills from head to toe down my spine. It then slowly talks and says: "I am you now." My shadow protrudes from the ground. It looks at me as speaks in a soft voice: "My word is my law and my law you have broken. By telling about me and my life we shall make your nightmares come true." The darkness surrounds me and consumes my body making no light shine upon me. I'm drowning in sorrow. It is the sorrow that has haunted my nightmares constantly. My life is over it has now ended and as my shadow takes my place, I hover in the pitch-black space.
