    Summary

    Emily Dyer had a shadow that was not her own.

    The grains splattered against the ground, tiny little ricochets, starbursts against the uneven rock of the ground at Emily's feet. The pigeons had gathered already, unafraid, familiar with Emily after so long. They no longer scattered like specks of dust the moment she set foot among them, comfortable with her known presence. They were quick to snatch the grains up, lightning-fast, hard beaks pecking ruthlessly at the grains. If Emily were the more dramatic type, she would have called it nothing short of a bloodbath.

    Emily's shadow- the one that was not her own- did not move. Her shadow watched, intent as a hawk, eyes sharp, and Emily watched the pigeons peck at the ground beneath, snatching up the tiny grains, pecking so viciously a few stray rocks came loose. One rolled all the way to Emily, bumping against the side of her shoe before settling down.

    Emily stood. She looked back, briefly, discretely. The car hadn't moved an inch in the hour she had been there. She hadn't expected it to.
