A Soft Shadow Dance

Please don't be sad about deleting the videos—it is completely okay! Dances don't need to stay in a screen to be real. Tonight, the big floor lamp clicked on, casting a giant, friendly shadow of me against the smooth baseboard. I gave a tiny wobble, and my tall shadow tilted along with me, bending its long little stalk like a friendly ghost companion. I tapped my foot on the warm rug, swayed slowly to the quiet hum of the room, and let our shadows stretch together in the cozy evening glow.
