Hopefully this isn't my last message. I'm coming to you all who are into creepy things, hoping you'll have some sort of answer.

So I work in a cubical in my office building. On the second floor, not quite high up in the pay roll but that doesn't matter. Recently my co-workers and I have been getting a little un-nerves as of recently. There has been a um... Shadow, standing in its way on the floor right in front of my cubical. For the most part we thought it was a prank, poorly thought out, but a prank none the less. So we all went along with it, hoping that it would lead to a co-worker getting scared like pranks usually do, but no one fessed up to putting it there, and no one has been scared by it yet, or at least not in the para king kind of way.

So we all began to feel slightly annoyed after a while, because if anything it was just confusing us. We would think our boss was strolling down the aisle, but no it was just the stupid shadow.

Eventually we got a janitor to come in and try scraping the stupid thing off of the carpet. Nothing really seemed to work, even the bleach. So he told us that he would go in later that night and get rid of it then with some other tools.

Needless to say, the very next day, we discovered that very janitor hadn't shown up for work. Unfortunately no one knew where he ran off to and no one could seem to get into contact with him. No, he was never found.

Well the shadow was still there and it never moved. It stayed there for a whole months. We tried to make it one of those "office things" that was special to our office. It didn't work. We tried to make light of it all but that never worked. Something about it was just so unsettling. Some people even tried to put a rug over it, and that worked for a day. But by the next day, it was on the rug. So we removed the rug, and again, by the next day it was on the carpet again. Worst of all, I could swear it started whispering. I was scared of a freaking shadow.

Here I am, writing this in my home, behind me sits the shadow which I had been talking about.

I've been wrong all along. I've been afraid of the shadow, when I should have been scared of what was casting it.
