Context: One night my children and I came home and came in through the back door. As I opened it, I saw a tall shadow in the hallway! It scared me so much, as I feared an intruder was in my home.
Speaker 1: One night when my kids and I came home, I saw a shadow in my hallway as I came in the back door. I was so scared and was afraid someone had broken in my home.
Speaker 2: In some ways that is a bit funny but it certainly can be a scary time to come home alone to an empty dark house.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I live out in the country so I wouldn't get a quick response time from emergency vehicles. But, luckily, it turned out to be my shadow!
Speaker 2: I hope you aren't still scared of your shadow?
