A shadow figure stood in front of me.
It was literally a shadow. A SHADOW.
This is impossible.

But pppft... Who am I kidding? This is not Earth. Anything can happen here.
Maybe this is someone's origin to get converted into a shadow. Maybe this is some kind of a prank someone's playing on me.

For a moment I felt this is my shadow. It had figure just like me. In fact I could tell it was a girl's figure. But when I moved my hands to see if the shadow does the same, it stood still, with no movement.

Whoever she is, I know, I am in danger. I knew, when it took slow tiny moments towards me. It made slight creepy noises which freaked me out.

I was stuck to the ground, unable to move. My Heart rate was similar to the thrumming wings of a caged bird.

What do I do? It's coming towards me. The moment came, when the shadow stood five feet away from me and still moving forward to kill me.

In that whimsical situation, when I was glued to the same position, where there was no one to save me, the most unexpected thing happened, which raised the level of traumatization to the whole new level.

It's eyes pounced. The shadow had eyes, which glimmered, making my heart rate stop suddenly.

A sudden bloom of both heat and cold sweat dropped down my face and whole body

A sudden bloom of both heat and cold sweat dropped down my face and whole body. And my body reacted instantly to the effect. I shivered in response and without wasting my time in staring at that creepy figure, I made a move to run in the opposite direction.

I screamed, as if someone would listen to it and hurry down here to save me. It's dark now. When I came here, for the evening walk, I didn't know, I would come this far, to such secluded godforsaken place.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... Save me"

My breath quickened as I started to run, while screaming at a full power, but soon I was disappointed with my effort to save myself, when I tripped, from over a huge stone, facing the ground.
