My Shadow and I



   There is this shadow. Now,I know everyone has a shadow and all that, but mine, is different. My shadow has been with me since birth,rain or shine,my shadow,my friend,my ally has always been there. Watching over me,watching the others and making sure I’m safe,we are safe. Rain or shine,birthday or death,it was there,I could count on it.Now, I could have said something to others a long time ago and figure out who or what it is, but nobody would believe me,they would think I’m crazy. Therapies,doctors…no thanks.So I get on with my day,with my shadow in tow,watching me,guarding me,making sure all is right in,our world.
   This shadow,I don’t know who or what it is,to me it looks like a human,like a being made of dark,deep slow voice but so comforting.It talks,but only I can see or hear it,seems like it,I checked.We checked. It doesn’t like strangers but seems to be stuck with me. You hear how beings like this are evil and want to harm or hurt you,but not my shadow,he protects me and takes care of me. There when I’m sick,there at school with me.It knows what I am thinking and helps me achieve it,we talk that way. One day,Steven Foster would pick on me as usual but he got what was coming to him,he ain’t touching me no more. Sometimes,I have to hold it back,to calm it down and make sure it doesn’t hurt the others it misunderstands. Oh,it likes to hurt the others but I’m keeping in under control. I like to think I am, but I am not sure. I just think it misunderstands. It cares too much. 


   It seems to have a story,it seems like it was a person before but I can’t quite know for sure,who or what they want. It never shares,it’s just there,the shadow and I. People notice me talking to nothing,hear me in the empty room,they think I am strange but me and him,it,we know. And it will make sure nothing,will happen to me. Now that my life is spiralling out of control,all these changes in my life happening at once,with people dying and me loosing friends,I feel like I have nobody but him,it. Even my parents suspect me in everything and don’t trust me anymore.I am not their little boy no more, they say.
   It’s us against the world,we can pull through,I can with him,it..and it will make sure I do. Now that it feels like the floor is collapsing right under me,I feel like I can trust only my shadow.Only it gets me,nobody believes me,nobody trusts me,they all suspect me and against me. I can’t take it anymore. I need it’s help more than ever. I need it by my side. Only shadow understands me.If they want a fight,I will give them a fight. Me and my friend,my shadow,we will make sure it will be alright and nobody will hurt us again.I can show them all how strange I can get. I bet you probably reading this,judging me,us, but it’s people like you holding us back and we will fight.
I see what it sees now.How blind I have been. My shadow and me,it is the only thing in this world who cares about me.Goodbye,Tom Lery, my old life and I hope for your sake,you do not follow or find me,us.

Performance anxiety

   I´m so nervous. This is my first time. Hands shaking uncontrollably. Never really felt this way. It is like they are not my own. Sweat dripping all over me. All over my face and down my brow. I feel my whole body shake. I don´t feel steady on my own two legs but I know,I will get used to it with time. I know it will be alright. Besides,I have the best tutor. Nerves are natural,he said,and it would be strange not to be nervous. It will get better. Still hear that in my mind,which by the way is a nervous wreck at this point. I can´t think straight. All I can think about is making sure it goes down well,it´s perfect. It´s my first time but still.    Here we are,student and the master so to speak. About to begin the show. I am a wreck and he has seen it all. Thank God he is by my side. I do need the guidance even though we practised a dozen times,i still need all the help I can get I want to be perfect. At the moment he is giving me the talk,it will be alright,he s...

At the top of the hill

   Old wooden church at the top of the hill. Some people say cultists gather at night to worship the demons. There were tales of sacrifice,people captured and kept there. Chanting has been heard from a distance by some and blood has been found in the area.Whether you believe it or not it seems like something,something is going on there. Some people speak of salvation and say that church does a great thing,helps people. Maybe it does but nobody speaks openly about what they see or hear at night and now. Now it is time to find out. The angry crowd gathered outside the church at night,they are determined to find out what is happening in their house of worship at night,whether the rumours are true and if they are,the cultists,those who abuse the faith will pay. As a the crowd approached the church,the doors flung open. People in cloaks and capes,covered in blood,carrying stones and books ran out.Screams were heard from within. Some managed to escape through the crowd while so...

“Rip. Rip rip away. Rip away the pain. Rip away the suffering. It is over. Do not worry little angel. It is done now. You are free and you will not suffer no more.I will make you better,I will stop the pain and I will help you leave this wretched twisted world. You are too good for them. Let me help you. Be free now little angel. Go forth.”He said making the last slice across the dead mangled face,finishing his masterpiece.     Once the latest piece was completed,it was ready to be presented now. He dressed his little angel up and hanged her high up for all to see, he is here. He will help all the angels of the city and they can rest easy,their time will come. For all the sinners,it was a sign. He was in the city and he will save the pure souls from the wicked one´s influence. All the angles will be free and they will all soar high,and when the time will come,he will join the angels. That night,he disappeared into the darkness of the streets. Lurking in the shadows,tra...
