CHAPTER TWO: Enter the Shadow

[Spoken Word]

The little girl had never seen her shadow before

As a matter of fact, the little girl had never seen anything at all

She was born completely blind

Her own reflection a mystery to her

All the same, when her shadow began to speak to her

A chilling sense of familiarity trickled down her spine

"Hello, little one," the shadow said

Its voice as soft as velvet

"Hello," the girl repliеd

"Do you know me?" The shadow asked

"Arе you my shadow?"

"Good, very good

You see, my child

I've been alone in the dark for so very long, just like you

I was wondering if, would it bother you if

Could I come out and play?" The shadow asked
