Dark

That day... if I remember correctly was a very dull evening. It was nothing new, just a another day. Tired from work, I was walking back home when I sensed something following me. There wasn't any sound of someone walking, I just felt something. I saw it from the corner of my eyes, but i didn't turned back. I was... scared. It was pitch black.

I began to walk faster, it followed me without any making any sound, on a tiptoe. I began to walk even faster, it is followed me with the same speed.

However, I was able to reach my home safely. I was sure that the person haven't entered the house, but I still sensed it's presence, maybe it was at the door.

I have got a very strong spooky feeling so I slowly opened the door to make sure that the person has left. There was nobody at the door, I checked right and left, but still there was nobody. I turned back...there was a black patch that ran along the floor and up the wall. It was really long. I mistakenly pushed the door and closed it, I closed my eyes as I thought that nobody can save me now.

After sometime when nothing happened, I slowly opened my eyes. It was gone.

I was very tired that my eyelids were covering my eyes. I went to sleep without thinking about anything else that can happen to me like a murder or something.

The next morning when I opened my eyes hoping that I were in heaven after dying, but I was lying on my bed. I was kind of unhappy I don't know why...but I was hoping to open my eyes in the heaven. Suddenly, I remember what happened yesterday. I checked my surrounding to check if there is a person in my room but there was no one.

I was thinking very deeply about the dark patch I saw yesterday, while I was brushing my teeth. "Was it a dream?" I thought.

... That's when I realised that it was nothing else but my shadow. I remember how it disappeared when I closed the door. It was my own shadow which was formed by the light that entered the dark room.

"I am so stupid" I thought. I laughed over myself, stupidity.
