Konnor was a boy who loved to wander the city. He lived in New York and his parents weren't around much so he always had places to go. People would taunt him for being abnormal and quiet. One time, when he was wandering the city, he found this amazing shadow. It was implapable but he thought it was incredible. It was shaped like a perfect girl that was indescribalbe. Howvere there was no one there to make the shadow. So he ran make into town and went to his neighbors house; he was the closest thing Konnor had as a friend. Emilio, the neighbor, had great inpalpability when Konnor described the perfect shape. "Thats not true, youactually need a girl to make the shadow" He also had a great skepticism with the shape and how it was there on its own that Emilio wanted to go see it himself. By the time EMilio and Konnor got to the spot, the shadow had left. Emilio gave Konnor a derision feeling that Konnor ran home. Weeks have passed and the shadow only appeared in Konnor's dreams. One time ithad spoken to him. Though he thought it sounded familiar, he ignored it. Konnor began to marginilize all of the important things in his life to find out who the shadow was and what it was doing there. He began to propritate himself from the world more than he already was.
