WARNING: fairly creepy, takes place in an insane asylum. So don't read if this kind of thing will give you nightmares.
Narrator...Shadow girl
I don't know why I'm here.
I'm not insane.
I know I'm not.
...
Do insane people wonder if they're insane?
I do often.
But I always come to the same conclusion.
I am not insane.
...
She slept in the bunk above, the Shadow Girl did.
I don't know her real name.
I call her Shadow Girl, because it is all she seems to say.
"Shadows."
"Shadows."
...
I wonder if there were shadows in her nightmares.
Sometimes, she'd crawl out of her top bunk to sleep near me.
I'd curl next to her.
I'd wonder if she saw shadows.
I'd wonder if I was insane.
But I am not insane.
...
I don't remember why I am here.
They think I am insane.
I am not insane.
I know I am not insane, because I wonder if I am insane.
I am not insane.
...
They bunked me with her.
Both of us 'relatively harmless'.
Of course I am 'relatively harmless'.
I am not insane.
...
The more I say it, the more I know it to be true.
I am not insane.
...
That night, she was murmuring in her sleep.
"Shadows. Shadows. Shadows."
I am not insane.
She crawled down from her bunk and crawled into mine.
I liked having her there.
She was pretty, Shadow Girl, despite her vacant eyes.
I am not insane.
She looked at me, with those vacant eyes.
"Shadows." She whispered.
I smiled.
I am not insane.
I leaned down and kissed her breifly.
She laid back down on the pillow.
"Shadows."
I am not insane... not insane...
Suddenly, I reached to the nightstand.
My hand caught up the knife I'd stolen from the kitchen.
I am not insane. I am not...
I stabbed Shadow Girl.
...
I am alone now, in my room.
I don't know what happened to Shadow Girl.
Maybe the shadows got her.
Or maybe they let her go, because she wasn't really insane.
...
I am not insane.
Wow. That was creepy and slightly disturbing, actually...

James and his daughter Stacy
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you
There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
Song is Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman
The story behind the song. It had been a long day and Steven was trying to give his two youngest adopted daughters, Maria Sue and Stevie Joy a bath, but they kept getting out of the tub and putting on their princess dresses. At first he was frustrated, but later he realized that these moments are precious, because before he knew it they would be all grown up. About a year later the family was celebrating their oldest daughter's engagement. 5 year old Maria Sue was so excited to see her brother driving home that she ran into the path of the car and was accidentally hit and killed by her brother. click
