The Shadow of Death
Lena had always been a loner, content to spend her days lost in thought and contemplation. But when she died, something strange happened. Her shadow began to move on its own, taking the form of a dark and foreboding figure that seemed to be made of the very darkness itself. It was as if death had taken on a life of its own, and it was up to Lena's friends and family to uncover the truth behind her mysterious shadow.
