Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

The wind whistled aggressively in your ear as you stood waiting for your bus. It was an eerie morning, foggy and chilly. You could barely see but you heard footsteps walking towards the bus stop. You turned to see which of your classmates was approaching, but couldn’t see anyone. That was until you took a step back, and a light gray shadow-y figure wearing a tophat appeared. You gasped and stumbled backwards, the figure appearing and disappearing with each step or movement. Each time you saw it you noticed something interesting about the figure. It was wearing a black and white Hawaiian shirt, buttoned only once. It was also wearing old sweatpants cut at the mid-thigh, and tall socks with crocodiles on them, but no shoes. It was humanoid, but it was blurry and constantly fluctuating form, and seemed to be constantly whistling. You couldn’t even speak, you were so flabbergasted by the shifting sight. For a split second you saw it pull something out of its shirt pocket. Then you couldn’t see it anymore, but a piece of paper flew through the wind into your hand, and you once again stumbled. You saw the shadow’s hand protruding towards you and shoving the paper into your palm. The footsteps receded as you curled your fingertips tightly around the paper. You found yourself thinkin, “Was that a ghost? How does a shadow have footsteps if it has no feet? Did it have a body? Should I open the letter? What…what just happened?” You were jolted to reality when your phone buzzed in your pocket. You pulled it out with your available hand. Your guardian had texted you, ‘Where did you go? School is canceled.’ Confused, as you could have sworn you were told to get ready for school earlier, you texted back and started walking towards your house. You went to your bedroom when you arrived. Your fist was still balled around the letter. You sat down on your bed and gently opened your hand, and read the note, which said:

Dear reader,

If you’re seeing this slip of paper, you’re probably confused. It happens. I can help with that. I hope you understand this all happened for a reason. You were chosen by the wind itself. You are special. The shadows admire you. They apologize if you were startled, they just wanted to invite you to a vacation full of people like you. If you’re wondering what makes you special, let's just say, well, hmm. How about our catchphrase here where the shadows resign, “magic isn’t real and shadows can’t talk ;)” (the winky face must be included) If you want to know more please fill out the brief survey and form below to attend:

Percy jackson, harry potter, or hunger games: technically I've only read Harry Potter, but I'm starting to feel that it's not very inclusive and stereotyped. Although HP's, helped me bond with my friends, but I find Rick Riordan to be much more good about representation than J. K. Rowling. Anyway, this rant has been way too long, point is I've only read Harry Potter, so that's the answer.
