The Shadow
One year…….exactly one year has passed since he had escaped the small testing facility hidden in Southern California. “Amazing isn’t it……one year and so much has happened for you.” The sound of a young woman’s voice cuts through the silence of the dark room. Jeff smiles as he runs his hand through her hair. “Yeah it really is. You know it’s hard to believe that it has only been a year…..” The room falls silent as Jeff’s voice fades out. The woman looks up at him and slides her arms around his neck before kissing him softly on the cheek. “Come on baby…don’t think about things like that.” Jeff laughs a little bit before looking down into the woman’s eyes….. “Like what? All I said was its hard to believe.” “Yeah but I know you too well babe…and I know by the way your acting you thinking about all that’s happened. You know things will work out, they always do.” Jeff’s eyes stared blankly into the darkness….the silence again enveloping the room. “You know I love you…right.” Jeff grinned, a boyish grin. The type of grin you got as a kid when you had your first kiss, he looked down into the woman’s eyes “Yeah…and I love you….more than anything baby.” Jeff kissed her, her warm lips softly pressed against his; a warm sensation surged through Jeff’s body as their lips slowly parted. Then as always, she planted a smaller kiss on his lips before pulling away. Next the girl lied her head down on Jeff’s stomach and closed her eyes, while Jeff stared blankly into the darkness. Only suddenly something moved….a slight movement that to the untrained eye would not have even been noticed. Only this movement wasn’t like something earthly running through the shadows, it was apart of the shadows…..and when it stopped…..Jeff felt as though the shadow was starring back at him…
