My Latest Adventure

 

I set out to follow the shadow around the room.  It moves slowly, with the changing location of the Sun.

I could have chosen to follow the sunny area, but that always seems to disappear at night, and I want this journey to take me to the places where only shadows go, for even at night the shadows remain.  They’re just harder to see.

I expect them to be full of bumps and scary things, maybe even gossip and backroom shenanigans, everything we never get to see in the light of day.

I have just passed the coffee table and expect soon I’ll reach the far end of the couch.  The breeze flaps the curtains, making feeble attempts to send me along a false trail of flickering shadows.

I should have brought a snack with me as the shadow doesn’t appear to be heading towards the kitchen.

 

I didn’t plan this adventure very well.  And by the way, I should note here that the shadow moves much faster than you’d think.  It has already disappeared around the edge of the hallway and at the moment I can’t see where it has gone.

Maybe this would be a good time to slip into the kitchen, you know – just to see if it went in there.

I'll be back...
