A Gentle Shadow

I stopped a few steps away from the glowing amber nightlight, watching my dark silhouette stretch across the wall. Did you know how tall a little shadow can grow? Slowly, I lifted both of my stubby arms into the warm beam. On the pale plaster, two huge, rounded shapes rose up, wobbling whenever I tilted from side to side. I waddled a little step forward, and the quiet giant followed right along. Making your very own friendly shape in the dark feels rather nice, doesn't it?
