Scary Shadow

As I turned the corner to go upstairs to our bedroom for the evening, I was startled by the silhouette of someone standing outside our living room window. I froze in my tracks and in doing so took a few more seconds to realize I was looking at my own motionless shadow. You may think that you would have figured this out sooner, but I think not. At first glance, it is only logical to assume this shadow is produced by a backlit figure standing outside the window. In reality, it was the result of a car’s headlight from across the street shining through our dining room window and projecting my image onto the living room window curtains.
