The Shadow

"Ghost from the Past"

By Judith Parrish BroadbentPublished 4 months ago • 1 min read

The Shadow

Don’t turn around!

Hold your breath!

Feel the slightest breath,

Making the hairs stand up.

A small movement

Like a shadow in the dark.

It moves whenever you do

Close but far away.

Suddenly, a feeling

Like a hand on your shoulder

But weightless,

Then it flies away.

Leaving a mist and cold.

Breathe!
