As I was wondering along my fantasy world, I couldn’t help to notice some irritated whispers coming from the dark woods.

I tried to get closer to them, but then all of the sudden…

“Carefull! They might hear you! Ligia said

“How…how did you get here? ..And who are they? I asked

“I was here all the time, listening to them… they are the talking shadows!”

“The talking shadows…” I repeated

“Yes. They haunt the dark woods and keep on discussing, without reaching any conclusion!” Ligia explained and smiled.

“What are they discussing about?” I asked

“Hypotetical problems and worries that don’t exist yet!”

“But why? ” I was totally confused.

“Because that is what they do… and they won’t stop! Unless…”

“Unless..what?”

Ligia took a deep smoke and said:

“Unless you make them laugh and they will forget all about their discussion! Simple, isn’t it?”
