shadows - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

Each eventide gargoyle shadows warp past a metre long, then twist-erase themselves into nothingness. For it is nightfall’s noble habitude, it’s purview and duty to discharge, to clear the canvas of all that’s been in readiness for dawn’s empyreal mirth. So rest easy while they stretch.

Shadows come as testimony to the light, of that which brings joy to their bright-lit side.

In flashlight beams, what was once shadows in the dark, becomes a manageable ordinariness.
