I draw a lot of unwanted attention.
I…draw stares…
It's like there's this huge column of light, and I'm forced to stand in the very middle of it.
I hate that light. I hate having everyone watch me, waiting for me to mess up.
Sometimes I wish I could step away from the attention. I wish I could step out of that column and just leave it all behind. I wish I could hide in the shadows like everyone else.
But I can't.

THE END
………………………………...
I'm very happy with this semi-angsty drabble. I accredit the title to Tolkien-sensei. I was flicking through The Silmarillion and saw the phrase "the shadows" and this drabble was born! Poor Edo just wants to be normal, but completely lacks the know-how.
I'm thinking of making this just a collection of one-shots and drabbles... But, God, was that short! Kinda like Ed... :cries: And me too! I had dreams of being six feet tall, damn it! I'm not even gonna make it to 5'2"!
