Seven of Swords: Just Me and My Shadow

I looked through the peek hole, but didn’t see anyone there. Yet, I sensed someone. I scratched my head and conked myself with the handcuffs, maybe it was Glendie, but why would she come over at nine in the evening without letting me know? Maybe she had Sia! I peeked through the hole again and this time I saw who was there.

The shadow.

The same dark presence I’d seen before, following me on the street, then in Maisie’s shop when I’d escaped from the Star card. The long, deeply black shadow stained the sidewalk, up the two short stairs to the stoop, a slash of darkness fell over the peek hole, like a slender ebony ribbon dimming the porch light. It was him, the stranger, the stalker, he’d had finally caught up.

My heart stalled, my head buzzed. I was scared. I hated being scared it. didn’t happen often. No stupid shadow person was going to control me; I pulled the door open and jumped out onto the stoop. “Come and get me, Shadow man!” I shouted. Even though it was nine o’clock at night there was still enough light out to clearly see who, if anyone, was out there. A voice called out to me.

“Ahem, it’s me!”

“Me who?” I asked trying to sound challenging.

“Ah, your date for the night. You said come to your place.”

Omg, I’d forgotten all about that! I hadn’t done a thing to get ready. I was silent. I didn’t know what to do, then thought what the heck. Why not? “Oh, yeah, I forgot about our date, but come on in and have a glass of wine. Where the hell are you?” I asked?

“Down here.”

I looked down over the rail on my stoop and there below me, like Romeo looking up to his Juliet, was my date, in my bushes. To top it off, I recognized him. “Why are you down there?” I asked.

“Ah, I’m shy. After I rang the bell, I got nervous and changed my mind, so I ducked in here. But you got out here so fast.”

“You’re shy?”

“That’s why I have to look for dates online,” he said, but he didn’t sound very convincing.

“Well, get up here William.” Yes, it was William from Koldwell Bank’s board room! I soon learned that his full name was William Tell. I didn’t believe him at first and asked him to show me some ID and he did. He was the tall, skinny dude with the cool glasses, such a leader and tough speaker in the board room, was shy and retiring out in the real world, on a date, or so it seemed.

He was tall! Once I got him inside I saw just how tall he was. My guess was he stood about six feet, six. But I had nine foot ceilings, so it didn’t matter much. I offered him a glass of red wine which he took. He sat in a nearby chair and while he sipped I took a good look at this guy.
