The Shadow Man

“I saw him. I know I did.”

Callie keeps seeing a figure in her peripheral vision. It makes me wonder how much of our fear is just our eyes playing tricks.

“You’re just stressed, Callie.”

Everyone keeps telling her she is crazy or just tired. It is terrifying how easily people dismiss a woman's intuition when she feels unsafe.

The past has a way of creeping into the present like a physical weight. Old secrets never stay buried as deep as we want them to.

“Who can I really trust?”

Trust feels like a luxury she can't afford. Even the people closest to her start looking like strangers under the right light.
