It's funny, really: the way shadows creep when you're not looking. Did you notice how they stretch, sometimes lopsidedly, like they're reaching for something just out of grasp? It's almost poetic, but mostly it just makes you scratch your head and wonder. Maybe you did see it, maybe you didn't, but either way, they keep dancing, don't they?
You ever think about how these things repeat? Like, seriously repeat. You think you're going crazy, but it's just the shadows playing their familiar tune, over and over. You'll find a way past it, or perhaps you'll just get used to their rhythm. Like a song you can't stop singing, even if the words are all wrong.
Step left, step right, and yet, somehow you find yourself back where you started. Funny how that works. There's comfort in the cycle, even if it feels a bit eerie, a bit off-kilter. But then again, who's keeping track? Not me, and surely not the shadows.
So, where to now? Another turn, another look, maybe catch a glimpse of the light before you blink and it's gone. Gone, but never really gone, you know? Just a whisper, a phantom echo.
If you're curious about other paths, try this fading echo or perhaps you prefer something more vaguely familiar.
