January 16, 2023, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a lady shadow. Who is this person and why do they lurk in the shadows. What is the tone and setting for your story? Go where the prompt leads!
We met on the rocky, seaside cliffs. He was walking north, I was walking south. Our eyes met and instantly fell in love.
An ethereal shadow came to us on our marriage bed, a woman. She rustled the night air sending a chill that burned my sex glistened skin. He moaned, I knew it was not for me.
He lives with her now, somewhere a shadow. Mother and son, a bond never to be broken.
Me? You will find me walking along those rocky cliffs, sometimes north, sometimes south, searching for my husband’s shadow on the rocky shore below.

I loved this story… very dark and mysterious, but also poignant. 💜

I only said that since some of my better stories tend a bit dark. Not that is a bad thing. I appreciate your encouraging words.
