Title: the Shadow
Prompt: #20 Shadow
-Original Fiction-
Rating: G


Sometimes when he looks through the window at the decaying street below
He sees a cat jump from an overflowing garbage can, which has been so for weeks, to
A graffiti-ed fence that has been tagged so many times there is no longer any conquest to be had
Defacing it.
On the fence the cat patrols, past boarded windows and a lamppost that flickers indecisively.
Waiting for repair. Willing for it. It seems to be the mantra of the alley. Forever waiting for
Some saviour. In the mean time there is one creature that prospers: the shadow. And it dances.
