|| shadow ||

partial or complete darkness, especially as produced in this way

she always walked in the shadows.

it wasn't because she didn't want the spotlight. oh, no, she craved it.

but nobody seemed to notice.

not behind them at least.

they were the light and she was the shadow.

perhaps, when she smiled, there was the vestiges of the light that used to shine through her before.

but now, ha, now, she was nothing but darkness.

a shadow.

sucked into the darkness, so close to the light.

she was poison.

a hero gone wrong.

she never did belong.
