Empty World "Chapter 2: Darkening"

I was concerned. The sun is out and it’s only 3pm…so why do I not have a shadow? I thought maybe if I walked a bit further past the store maybe it would re-appear or maybe I’m seeing things again, but it was no use. I walked for almost a full mile down to the grassy plains where once again, I could not see my shadow. I saw a farmer working the fields in the distance so I ran up to him and asked “Do you see my shadow?”. He continued his work without answering my question. After repeating myself almost ten times he finally said “Sorry, I didn’t notice you there. Your shadow? Yeah, I see it, why? Something bothering you?” Once again, I was in relief, but why can’t I see my own shadow I wondered. Walking slowly back into town, relieved but confused, there was a jewelry store with a mirror outside, once again I turned towards it, but this time with confidence that I was just seeing things.
