‘Oh, another nut case,’ said to himself Dr. Ramcharan
Doctor carefully searched for words and started his regular conversation,
“So, from when did you started missing it ?”
“It’s been nearly a week, I filed a Police Compliant as well”
“What did the Police say ?”
“They gave your number to contact”
‘Damn these Police!’ murmured the doctor
“Mr. George, why don’t you follow me ?”
Ramcharan took him to a Dark Room and switched on the lamp,
A shadow of George is clearly visible on the Ground
“Look Mister George, there lies your shadow, wave your hand”
George waves his hand, but with an inconvenient tone he claims
“Common Doctor, it’s not mine, it’s a proxy !”
Dr. Ram knows, medication doesn’t work with such subjects
“George, I understood your case, I will appoint a Private Detective and will get back to you soon”
“Before you leave Mr. George, Can you tell me if you have any family, or friends around ? ”
“No one sir, Am all alone like my shadow”
After a week, George visits the Psychiatry Department and awaits his appointment
Secretary calls his name and says in a soft tone,
“ Am sorry to say this, but Dr. Ramcharan has died two days back”
“How did it happen ?” asked George
“It’s eerie sir, He got brutally murdered by a lonely Shadow ”
“Oh my God, what happened later ?” said George
“Ah ! luckily, Police caught that lonely Shadow and jailed” replied the secretary
Quickly, George rushed out of the Hospital
After an hour,
George goes to the Police Station and shouts
“Please release the shadow, He is innocent !”
