Sarah the Shadow

RINGGG, I picked up my phone and answered the anonymous caller. “You can run but you cant hide, we will always find a way to find you, we the shadows know exactly when you are.” “W-w-what do you mean?” I exclaimed. Unfourtunatly the unknown caller hung up. Then a sudden knock on my door caused me to trip and fall, I got up and proceded to walk carefully to the door. I looked into the peep hole and saw a black figure about 4 feet away from me. Then the figure slided a note under the door. “Its me, Sarah the shadow.” I looked through the peep hole again only to find a toy on my door step

It was a old 1970 wind-up toy. Expect this one was a dog without its beady eyes. It kept repeating the same phrase over and over. “Watch out behind you.” Ignoring its warning I turned around. I was frozen in fear, Its round red eyes pierced into my soul. Its slim curvy body trotted over to me. Then I heard the front door creak open. I ran as fast as I could out the door. I ran to my neighbors house and knocked on the door, and Sarah the shadow opened the door. She was holding a pizza in her hand and whispered to me. “Want some?” With a smirk on her face. I turned around to run away and noticed that every light on the street was out. I had entered a schizophrenic state.
