The Warning in the Shadows

Warning. That shadow in your peripheral vision isn't just your imagination.

I filmed my empty hallway for thirty seconds after hearing footsteps at 3am. Frame twelve shows

a figure. Frame eighteen it's closer. Frame twenty four it's gone.

But here's what nobody tells you about shadow people. They're not trying to scare you.

They're warning you. Because in frame thirty, right before the

loop restarts, you can see what's actually behind me in the reflection. The thing they were

running from. I haven't slept in my apartment since. The landlord says

previous tenants always left suddenly too. Now I know why they never looked back.
