The Shadow People: a Paranormal Short Story
“There had been expenses, and even though there had been a small insurance policy that had helped to pay her mother’s final expenses, there hadn’t been much else. She banked that money for a rainy day and struggled with ‘finding’ herself. She dropped out of school for a year and when she went back she changed her major two times while Patricia had already graduated with a Bachelor’s degree and found a nice job working for a small but prestigious company.
It was inevitable that Patricia would... eventually move on and she did about 2 years ago. She met a nice guy, got her own place and Dani was sad to see her leave the neat apartment that had been their home for the last two years. But despite the fact that their lives had taken a different turn, they were still as close as ever, never going more than two or three days without speaking on the phone, via the net or meeting for lunch. One night, Danielle had gone out partying with school friends. She hadn’t been feeling herself lately; or perhaps this sadness was her new ‘self’, one filled with depression and sorrow. She thought that she had put that depression about her mother’s death behind her. But lately she could not shake the feeling of foreboding. It was the same feeling that she’d had when Mama had died; a sense of loss so deep that it made her stop in her tracks and sink into herself. To counteract that feeling, she filled her free time with too much drinking and too much partying. Patricia didn’t approve and so she didn’t hang with her when she was in the mood to get wild. Unfortunately getting drunk and partying all night didn’t cause the depression to go away. After one such episode of too much drinking, Dani stumbled home late in the night and stripped out of her clothes, falling into bed in just panties and her bra. She didn’t even bother to cover herself as she was already mostly asleep when her head hit her pillow.MoreLess
