A narrative by Laura Rodríguez

The day I overcame my fears

It was a dark night, I was going home after a party. My friends arrived home earlier than me and I had to walk home alone. I was terrified because the moon wasn't shining and the street lights didn't work.

At first everything was going well but then, I saw a shadow behind me. I hated darkness so I started running far away from there but something strange happened, the shadow was still behind me.

Eventhough I was really afraid I decided to turn around and I didn't see anything. I thought I was crazy, for that reason I continued my way without thinking about what had happened.

I saw again that shadow and, as soon as I saw it, I knew what it was, it was my shadow!

Finally I arrived home safe and sound. I was proud of me due to the fact that I'd overcame my fear and since then, I've been brave.
