I have this childhood story that bothered me a lot during my empty days that my mind is still alienated by all the things that caught my sight, I’m still figuring out myself in this strange world and the peculiar thing I had ever encountered is when I’d saw my stalker. The only question that flows on my barren brain was, WHO IS THAT STALKER?!
I tried to tell this to the elders but what I get is their reprimands towards me, they don’t understand me! So I said to myself that grown-ups are nothing but sucks! Therefore, I decided to work on this thing alone. In my young age, I can say that I was so intelligent because I learned early to render observations and formulate theories about this ridiculous being that follows me everywhere I go!
There’s no reason why he/she would follow me because I have nothing in my pocket or gold coins that may be a cause why he kept on tracking me. One time, when my neighborhood and I were playing, I used to tell this to her but she just ignored what I had said, for she think that I’m insane and creating fictional tales, but I’m not! They are the crazy ones who can’t explain my unanswered question, WHO IS THAT STALKER?!
I can’t sleep at night, wondering on that stunning creature. I want to sleep but when I tried to close my eyes, I feel so terrified. An air blows down coming from my window, it made me shiver down my spine. I covered up my whole body with a blanket and I attempt to ease the apprehensions in my head. With God’s mercy, finally, I fell asleep…
When I woke up in the morning, my eyes are weary because I haven’t take enough sleep but I need to go ‘cause it’s school time. It was a day for me to merit new things; actually it is my first turn to school and I’m excited about it!
As I came up in this new environment, I got an idea to study further in connection with my stalker; perhaps somebody can help me to solve my long-time investigation on this being. And days passed, I met my new pal.
His name was Vic, and I don’t expect that we will deal in so many interest and values that’s why we get closer and closer each day. I already treated him as my best friend because he knew all my secrets except on my stalker. I’m afraid that he would not believe me; maybe he would say that I’m getting insane too! Just like the others! But with so much trust, I accidentally told this to him, and unexpectedly, he listened earnestly. He said that he can do some help to decipher this problem and our mission began…
After our class, we plan to consult my teacher to answer this issue… And we did… At first I am shaking… (Maybe for 2 reasons: I’m scared to know the answer and tired of getting rejected). But when I tried to open my mouth, I can’t speak, there is something controlling me… In that case, Vic spoke out for me and he conveyed this to our mentor.
Ms. Xiao just smiled and then she edified the reason why a stalker follows me at all times and also revealed the creature behind this stalker…
And now I recognized and distinguished this being… I realized that it was nothing but my shadow… How petty, isn’t it?
