About the Author
1
The tall, elusive figure has followed me for the last three months. The shadow. My silent tail. Whether I’m at my job in the café or relaxing in my one-room flat, I only need to look outside to find him standing across the road. Watching me. A faceless darkness. A mysterious presence that lights my nerves and constricts my chest.
I can’t tell what he looks like. Hell, I can’t even tell what he’s wearing. He’s nothing more than a silhouette. A spooky intangible darkness that seems to swallow the light. I get the vague impression of a man, a suit maybe, but that’s all.
I feel his steady gaze, though. His eyes prickle the skin of my neck.
When he first appeared, I tried to face off with him. Probably foolish; how do you fight a shadow? But I’ve trained in martial arts for years, won a few competitions, and I was feeling pissed off enough to give it a go.
