The Shadow People | A Drabble

{ 100 words }

I’ve always been able to see them. The Shadow People, I mean. Even when I was a little younger around age five, they would visit me sometimes. But I always see them around town, especially in the countryside. Mommy and Daddy don’t believe me because they never see them. The Shadow People fade away whenever grownups are around. It’s almost like they’re scared of grownups or something. I think it’s because grown folks aren’t believers. The Shadow People don’t want to be around those who don’t acknowledge them. Wouldn’t you want credit for the good things you do for others?
