Walking home from the coffee shop that lies on the corner of lyndale and 24th street.
I'm in the alley behind my home trying to embrace the cold wind thats hitting my face with only the warmness of my coffee keeping my fingers warm.
Theres light reflecting on the icey cement streets that i see coming from the only lamp post at the end of the road ahead.
every step i take theres a thin layer of melted water covering the ice so i brace myself not to slip.
I notice my shadow that consists of my over sized scarf that wraps around my neck, my long furry pea coat thats dragging behind my feet. and my chunky doc martin boots that in my shadow, seems to look like astronaut boots.
Its to the left of me and it continues to follow me through each garage i pass.
I notice that my shadow is faster than me.
I have to race to keep up with it.
