MY SHADOW STARTED MISBEHAVING 🕴️ - by Dmy Art 🎨🖌️

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY SHADOW I used to think everybody's shadow was their most loyal companion It follows you everywhere, never complains, never asks for money and never abandons you At least, that's what I thought until last Monday My name is Dammy, and I'm about to tell you how my own shadow nearly disgraced me It started on an ordinary Monday morning I woke up late, brushed my teeth, wore my clothes and rushed outside because I was already running behind schedule As I stood in front of the house, I noticed something strange My shadow was waving I stopped It stopped I raised my right hand It raised its right hand I laughed and continued walking But when I turned around to pick up my phone, something caught my attention My shadow was still standing there I looked down again It was now scratching its head I wasn't scratching mine I stood still It stood still I scratched my head It scratched its head At this point, I told myself I was probably still sleeping mentally "Daniel, you need rest," I muttered Then I decided to test something I raised both hands My shadow raised both hands I bent down It bent down I jumped It jumped "Okay, we are still friends." I took three steps forward My shadow took two steps backwards I froze Ah I moved forward again It moved backwards I looked around to see if anybody was watching me Nobody Thank God. I wasn't ready to explain why I was fighting with sunlight I quickly entered the house But the real problem started that evening I was standing in front of the mirror, practising how to greet a girl I had been crushing on "Hello, how are you doing?" I paused No, too formal I tried again "Hi, beautiful." I shook my head Too desperate I was still rehearsing when I noticed something moving behind me I turned My shadow was standing with its hands on its waist Then it slowly shook its head I stared at it "What's your problem?" It pointed at me Then it covered its face with both hands I nearly shouted Even my own shadow had started judging my love life I decided to ignore it and went to bed The following morning, things became worse I was eating bread when my younger sister walked into the sitting room "Dammy, good morning." "Morning." She looked at the wall and suddenly frowned "Brother, why is your shadow doing like that?" I almost choked on my bread "What?" She pointed behind me I turned My shadow was standing with its arms crossed Then it pointed at my sister After that, it pointed at me and made a gesture with its hands My sister burst into laughter "Brother, even your shadow knows what you did!" I swallowed hard "What did I do?" She laughed harder I wanted to ask her what she meant, but my shadow had already started shaking its head That was when I knew this wasn't ordinary anymore I waited until my sister left before speaking "Listen, whatever problem you have with me, let's settle it privately." My shadow raised one finger Then it pointed towards my bedroom I followed its direction There was nothing there When I turned back, it was pointing at me again Suddenly, it covered its mouth Like someone trying not to laugh I stepped backwards "Wait. Are you laughing at me?" It nodded I screamed Not because I was afraid But because I had finally realised something terrible My shadow wasn't just behaving strangely It understood everything I was saying And apparently, it had a lot to say too That night, I decided to stay awake and investigate I placed my phone on the table, switched on the torch and pointed it towards the wall My shadow appeared I raised my hand It didn't move Instead, it slowly turned its head towards me Then it lifted one finger and pointed directly at my phone I picked up the phone A notification appeared It was a message from an unknown number The message read: "Dammy, please tell your shadow to stop exposing our secrets." I read it once Twice Then I looked at the wall My shadow was clapping And I swear, it looked proud of itself I wanted to ask who sent that message, but before I could type a reply... Ahhhh! My gas don finish o 😭 Make I go fill am first before this my shadow starts another problem I never even understand wetin dey happen for this house I dey come 🏃‍➡️🏃‍➡️
