One day, a shadow peeled out from behind a slight young woman
Make no mistake – it wasn’t her fault
But once it’d escaped
It began to wreak havoc on those it met
Creeping and skulking
It had a vise-grip on those who surrounded it
Apprehension, terror, and trepidation leaked into some victims - and spewed into others
In a year’s time, the shadow had covered the face of the earth,
Its tendrils spreading with crippling rapidness
The shadow never stopped – nor did it discriminate against its bountiful prey
One day, the shadow saw a little girl
Her skin was like porcelain, her fine hair like fire, and her heart like a ray of sun
The shadow formed a cruel, simple scheme
In the night, it moved darkness over the child
Suddenly, nighttime held terrors for her The shadow knew it had conquered all.
