Awesome! This was clever and beautiful. I think the only criticism would be the appearance of the words "ONLY SHADOWS TELL THE TRUTH", as I believe a wordless example would be less heavy-handed and more effective. Otherwise, I think this could be fleshed-out into something more intricate and not be boring, even though this felt like it was a great length. Hooray!
