Shadow is what I had no idea of as a little boy. I used to think my shadow was a person who used to visit me uninvited. Years ago as a little boy, I was growing very fast with my grandmother. One day, my grandmother sent me on an errand to buy her drugs because she was not feeling fine. On my way to the chemist's shop, night began to come out. As night drew faster and was accompanied by the moon. A friend who saw me on the way called me and I turned back and we greeted. I then realized from my back that someone was following me.
As I didn't actually understand what was following me, if I walked small, I'd turn back trying to see if it'd depart but no way. I became very scared and tried to see if I could escape from the person. I started running but the person continued to follow me. The time I looked back again and discovered that the unidentified person was still following me, I began to cry and run for my life to my grandmother. When my grandmother saw me ran into the house, panting like the greatest sprinter. She then asked me who was after my life, I told her that I don't know who has been following me ever since I went to buy her drugs. My mother came out of the house and couldn't see anyone.
I came out of the door and couldn't see the person anymore. The next night, I was accompanying my friend who came to stay with me for some time. On our way, a car driving on the road on the headlight. I saw that the unidentified person appeared again. I became afraid again that my friend didn't understand what was wrong with me. The worst was when another moon appeared. I saw that the person who was of the same height as me began to grow very tall and bigger. I became more afraid and ran back to my house leaving my friend on the way.
As I ran back to the house I didn't see the unidentified person again. I pretended to my grandmother to be fine. As I was about to eat night food, my grandmother was entering the kitchen with a lamp and the unidentified person appeared again. instantly, I began to shout and my grandmother asked me what the problem was. I told her the person that used to appear to me on the night had come again. When my grandmother realized that it was the shadow, she laughed at me. After she laughed for some time she told me it was an ordinary shadow.
After my grandmother's explanation about what the shadow is, I carried my food. I realized that when I collected a spoon, the shadow collected. As I sat down, the shadow also sat. I took food with my spoon and I saw that the shadow had also collected food to eat. I thought that the shadow food would be bigger than the one my spoon collected. I tried using my hand to cover the food so that the shadow would not collect again. If I cover the food, the shadow will also follow me to do that. I didn't notice the present of my grandmother until when she started laughing at me. Hmm, what has shadow turned my grandson, she said.
