Aisha was returning home alone; on the usual secluded stretch
flanked by tall trees and row-houses on either side. As she approached an empty
house, eerie thoughts filled her mind.
In a flash of a moment, she saw someone’s shadow on the
window glass. Even as her mind ran amok with thoughts of a haunted house, the
shadow moved.
Petrified, Aisha
stood rooted to the ground.
Then she began to laugh aloud. The shadow that eerily
resembled a human was that of a tree; cast from outside and not within.
“I need to stop reading spooky novels” she thought amusedly.

Whew! So it was just a shadow! From working late nights I so know the feeling. Once you allow yourself to be scared everything looks menacing.
