Some nights I can’t really sleep because I’m completely terrified. The reason is that I see SHADOWS.
I’ve been living in a little flat by my own, since I left my parents eight years ago. There is not a big reason for this decision, just I didn’t want my parents to be too worried for me. Because of my sight, I mean. I already told that I see about nothing, just a thick fog between you and me. It happened in an accident but that's not what I want to say now.
In the evening I see these shadows moving in my house. Just slight variations of hue and light for my eyes, going from a room to the entrance, from the hall to the bathroom.
I think they are the children of my neighborhood. I’m quite sure it’s them. Nice children really. I was like them in my building. Very curious and lively. Good children, I like their parents.Just... I don’t like this joke. They enter my home in the night.I fancy also how they enter. A few times I forgot my keys out of door and they had surely duplicated them keeping a copy.
Sometime, when they are in my room they look at me, and, I don’t know why, I cannot breath, I can just hardly perceive the beat of their heart. I call them. I ask to go away but they don’t answer. I can imagine their grin.
Funny joke, really funny.
