A shadow-person tall enough to look through my window at night, or just a disembodied face peering through the glass at me.

@HeatherDeathly

She's back again, the shadow. In the corner of my sight all the time now. I used to just catch glances of her in the glass, but now she just stares back at me with an angry expression. She always disappears when I take my meds, but she always comes back. I turn from the mirror and go out of the bathroom. (idk )

Okay, so this passage is from a book I'm absolutely in love with, and I hope you like it.

At first I thought he was alone, and then I saw the stranger. He stood right in front of the boy, his body nothing more than a silhouette, a pit that sucked in the sickly light of the orchard and returned in only cold waves of darkness. It was as if the view before me was a photograph, and the shape of the man had been burned out of it–he wasn't human, he was the absence of humanity.
He was tall, towering over the kid by a good meter. Tall and skeletally thin, his arms and legs too long, too many joints there, his fingers like distended shadows. His spine was crooked like an old man's, and yet this thing, whatever it was, reeked of power. It looked down at the boy, not moving, just staring. And even though the boy's cries tore at my heart, I was glad of them, because it meant the stranger wasn't looking at me.

Hope you liked it! I know it horrified me!
