Light And Shadow

It was late at night. The moon was high in the sky, but it wasn't too late. I had secretly spent the night planning my route in the upper-floor broom closet. It was carefully planned out, very elaborate and complicated. Okay, I exaggerate for fun sometimes. But it was still very sneaky. Just minutes before midnight, I ever so slowly opened the door. It made a tiny squeak, and I flinched.Even a tiny noise could wake up everyone. I tiptoed gently, but quickly. I had to meet my visitor by midnight. It was essential to our relationship. Clop, clop, clop, clop! Loud sounds echoed through the hall. I gasped. What is that sound? I looked down and saw my golden horseshoes. Oh Faust, I forgot about those! I thought. Time for Plan B. I spread my wings, and started flapping. They lifted me at least a foot.
