The Shadow Fallacy

What happens when the masks we wear fracture? When the shadows we have created for ourselves take over, ensnaring us in darkness. Are we open to attack, made vulnerable? Do people see us for who we really are, hiding in the shadows? That's the question faced by those captured in these sixteen tales of fiction, folks hiding to protect themselves. We all do it, have done it. That makes us human.   The final story in the collection is based on my truth regarding my sister's death.
It's a story filled with fear, outright panic, something I never thought I'd experience. When it happened, it presented a ghostly shadow like no other. Me, the coward. Not a ghost anyone wants to face, but there you go. I'm only human, too.
