Shadow

My name is shadow and I am from the Philippines. My parents named me shadow because am quite special,rumors had it that both the nurses and doctors were confused after I was given birth to. I had a different look to different people and the worst part of it was that I had the look of people's Achilles heel. I'd look exactly like the person they hated the most. No medical explanation could be given to my condition and my parents were quite concerned. I grew up away from the outside world,I was homeschooled by my parents and strictly instructed not to step outside the house. I wasn't allowed to take photographs,play with kids my age or look in the mirror and I always wondered why but it all began to make sense when I clocked sixteen. It was the night of my sixteen birthday and my parents had taken turns to explain everything to me because they felt I was old enough to know about my condition, they provided proof by handling me an old photo of when I was a baby but I wasn't able to make out any face because the photo was a total blur. My parents told me they wanted me to start living a proper life and socializing with people, forging my own path in life and I couldn't wait although i was very nervous due to my unexplainable condition and I tried to prepare myself for the worst. A week later,my family and myself relocated from the countryside in the Philippines where we lived to Paris to start a new life there
