Shadow Shrubs

Ilex scio

Once, a normal shrub was being... Well a shrub. There was only one difference: He stayed in the shadows. Why did he stay in the shadows? It was because his shadow was alive and told him he hates the light. Finally, the shrub came out of the shadows, tired of being lonely and betrayed by his own shadow. He then realized he didn't have a shadow anymore and look behind him. In the darkness from where he came, there were to glowing red eyes that faded into the darkness never to be seen again... until Halloween.
