Write a suspenseful narrative about someone convinced they’re being followed by an unexplained shadow.

Stories that toy with perception making us question reality, fit perfectly within the horror genre. In this prompt, your protagonist persistently feels watched and followed by an eerie shadow that others can’t see. How does this stir paranoia and dread in them? What steps do they take to confront this unknown entity? Hint at the possibility of it either being a figment of their imagination or a supernatural entity, for added suspense.
