Summary

Harry's shadow
Shadows can be sinister. Grey fringes on the clean, light world, they whisper seductively to
half-closed ears. In full light, everything seems to sparkle with goodness and clarity. There
are no undefined edges, no flutter of evils unseen.

He thrives in the light, undergoes an eerie photosynthesis of attention. The light caresses him,
just as shadows glide smoky-soft around me.

He draws love, as I draw indifference.

Light is unsuspecting. Darkness is a cliché, impotent in its blatancy. The shadow links and
intermingles, claiming trust even as it undermines. He has underestimated my friendship, my
love.

Shadows can be deadly.
