The first time his shadow waved to him, he thought it was a trick of the light. When his shadow took a kettle off the stove, he thought he was dreaming. When his shadow cut his wife’s head off, he was proud. When his shadow stabbed the policeman, he was nervous. His shadow now has religious texts and 14 pounds of explosives. He is not sure how he feels about that.

Starts quite light-hearted and then gets very dark indeed. Nicely done.
Thank you Esme!
????? you are extremely good at building up to a punchline without giving away any clue until the end. Very funny, very dark and quite chilling at the same time.
Very good work
Thank you Dave. 🙂
Yes! He is so good at it. I’m addicted.
Wow.
Thought provoking.
Love it.
Thank you again Clowns!
Gets dark very quickly but quite good.
Mmhmm, thank you. 🙂
I was expecting a punch line…but wow. Very dark indeed.
Mondays and Fridays, always a black and white image, always a horror or weird fiction. 🙂
Religious texts…. creepy….
Tried reading the old testament once. Terrified me!
Blame Wendy for helping sew it back on…
Oof!
Pretty scary. You really paint a picture. Whew.
Thank you!
I too endorse the above expression.Said nicely.
Time to go sit in the dark…Or would that just make his shadow sneakier?
Not sure. Never trust a shadow though!
Sick. well, not ‘sick’. Funny!. not sure what that means about me. .
Oof. Haha, thanks. 🙂
About to get explosive. Creepy one.
Yup! Thank you. 🙂
Love the twist! Well done.
Thank you. 🙂
Full of suspense, the narrative was interestingly delighting like a live sports. So nice. The author deserves a solid recognition.
Aww, thank you. 🙂
I love this style of humour.
Cheers Alison. 🙂
Yes, it does. Mm.
Clever! Um… is it okay to laugh though? Kind of worried that it’s funny to me. LOL
Haha, different strokes Mel. 🙂
Wow

Well done! Makes me think about how much we lack consciousness of our “shadow” personality characteristics, the parts of ourselves we want to deny, project onto others, etc., until we are more capable of seeing them and hopefully understanding their underlying motivations. Until then, we have inner conflict, with our different parts, or “sides,” struggling for control–or freedom. I’ve been looking at and reading your other little stories, finding them delightful, very fun, but this one is particularly insighful. For all, though, I say again, well done!
I think most people suffer a multiple personality disorder of some description under different circumstances. How they manifest and how different an individual can interests me.
Thank you, and thank you again. 🙂
