If the lights did not go off who would
have saw this thing move pass the area.
It was not what should be moving around. But it was action in the making.
Then I turn the lights on and it was gone.
For you see the strange figure was my
shadow. And once I left out that room it was gone. So at night I turn the light
back off an danced with my shadow
on the wall of my area. For was I a strange figure in my own place.
