The Shadow

It was morning, people around me minded their own business--but not me. I focused on hiding, though I cannot.

I ran as I saw the shadow, passed by every stranger I hit--slowing me down. But I still saw his dark pigment, the ones that gives me the chill.

I ran towards an old building, quiet and peaceful--but not for long. He was there catching up with me through the stairs. I was at the last edge of the building. "I must jump" I thought and I flew. But he was fast, caught up with me and teared my wings down.

I fell slowly, but woke up quickly.

I entered this in an event, and it's still metaphoric.
