“See that?” The shadow man pointed out the light at the end of the tunnel.

“It’s beautiful!” Breathed the little shadow girl.

“Beautiful things are deadly, little shadow girl. The light kills all darkness.”

The little shadow girl whimpered, inching away from the light.

“Never go to the light.”

“Never go to the light.”

“Never go to the light.”

One day, when the little shadow girl was no longer little, she saw a little shadow boy! In the light!

Fearful for his life, the little shadow girl yelled, “Little shadow boy! Don’t go to the light!”

With genuine inquiry he asked, “Why not? I could not exist without light. Look at you, you are going to die soon!”

Sure enough, when the little shadow girl look at herself, she was fading. “What do I do?”

“Step into the light!” the little shadow boy looked amused. “Do it for me.”

So she stepped into the light.
