I have never told this story to anyone, nor have I ever thought about telling it to anyone. It's not because I am afraid that others won't believe me, but rather because I feel ashamed. It's my secret, and revealing it would diminish myself and the story itself, making it seem smaller and more ordinary, not even comparable to the ghost stories told by camp counselors before lights out. I am also afraid that if I were to speak it out loud, I might start doubting it myself. But ever since my mother passed away, I haven't been able to sleep peacefully. As soon as I close my eyes, memories vividly replay, and I jolt awake in fear. I turn on the bedside lamp, and the memories dissipate. Have you ever noticed how shadows loom in the darkness of the night, even when the light is on? Those long shadows might be the lingering memories, regardless of their nature...
