The Shadow

Without him the shadow lost her balance.  It was slightly tippy and side-to-side along the edges of the walkway.  Some steps made a xlick xlick sound but others were silent grass walking sounds with a slight swish then itchy.  A green block of color attracted her.  Between palms there was love but on an empty stomach these feelings turned into murderous ones.  It was her task to find out how to stop them.
