Shadow Pt. 2

By Jamie Natonabah

Almost all the text on the page is doubled over so that it's unreadable, except for a a rectangular column of text in the middle that reads 'startled awake--muscles tight sight of him standing in the door false medicine man biding time neurons in dream sounded an alarm a sense of lightning about to strike.' At the very bottom, much smaller is the text, 'doorway of my room...silently watching me.'
