Shadows


James stayed in the shadows and looked upwards. He had a puzzled expression on his face. This was his doing, wasn’t it? “Hmm…” he mumbled to no-one but himself. This is strange, he thought. “It’s the same as the others…” But how did he get up there? He frowned. There he was. “This was your doing, wasn’t it?” The man said nothing. “Answer me,” he said. The man still said nothing. Then, out of nowhere, the man murmured to himself. James heard something behind him. He looked back. Nothing.
