Talk:The Ghost of a Shadow/@comment-25021327-20141215191128

There is't much here, but what is here, I found fairly enjoyable. I like how it is simply a recounting of childhood memories left to be interpretted by the reader. It hints at more supernatural, or sinister elements, but doesn't really try to convince the reader of one thing or another.

This pasta isn't wildly original, but it plays on a subject to which everyone can most likely relate. Many of us have experienced what we feel to be unexplainable phenomena, so the ambiguous nature of this tale appealed to me. Who is really to say what is and isn't possible? And sometimes perception is reality.

So I liked this short pasta. Its length, for me, worked pretty much as a strength. It gives some information, and interpretations, and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. In the end, we aren't left with some bizarre physical evidence to ponder, nor are we given any proof that the events were entirely untrue.

A nice, more realistic take on the classic Boogeyman story. Glad I checked this one out :)
