A mysterious shadow appears on the glass, bringing fear, whispers, and a shocking twist!!!

The moon hung pale above the street,
While silence whispered at my feet.
I stood alone beside the pane,
Watching shadows dance in the rain.

A figure moved beyond the glass,
Too still to tell if time had passed.
I held my breath and watched it stare,
But when I blinked—there was nothing there.

The window shook, though winds were still,
A distant clock began to trill.
Three slow knocks came from outside,
Then something whispered, “Come and hide.”

I stepped away, my heartbeat loud,
The shadow returned behind the cloud.
It raised one hand against the pane,
And wrote my name across the rain.

I turned around—no one was near.
Yet footsteps echoed in my ear.
I faced the glass with trembling eyes…

The shadow stood behind me—
And smiled.
