The Shadow Has a Suspiciously Good Alibi

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

Bea noticed a figure following her across the wall. It copied every movement and refused to answer questions.

Professor Duck identified it as a shadow. Bea said naming a suspect did not close a case.

She moved left. It moved left. She raised a hand. It raised a hand, with what she considered a mocking delay of approximately no time at all.

The lamp was called as a witness. Its involvement quickly became clear.

When the light moved, the shadow changed. When Bea stepped away, it disappeared.

The detective admitted the figure was probably not operating independently.

Professor Duck proposed a shadow-puppet show to celebrate.

Bea made a rabbit. The shadow made a better rabbit.

She reopened the file under a new title: The Case of the Assistant Who Keeps Stealing the Scene.
