Once, at the time that I was dead, I was walking down the
street and it made me really sad. It was Wednesday morning
at five o'clock as the day began rising. I heard a deafening
knock. Suddenly I felt I'm not half the man I used to be;
there was no shadow hanging over me. I was wondering where
my shadow is, so I started looking for it with my good
friend Liz. Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans Way
back up in the woods, among the evergreens, there stood a
country cabin made of clay and wood, where lived a young
country boy named Alex from the hood. He was a shadow
collector. I guessed he collected my shadow too. I asked Liz
to investigate a little, but the only thing she found was a
big green shoe.
I was sure he had my shadow so I went and looked myself and
you won't believe me when I'll say I saw a little elf. He
told me that he knows where my shadow is, but his only
condition for me was to find him three blue peas.
"What did you say?" I shouted in shock, "three blue peas? It
must be a mock!" "No", he said, "it exists, I swear. Even
though they are really rare".
So I went in despair to look for his peas when suddenly I
thought: where the fuck is Liz?! Never mind, I thought, she
must be with the elf (or not).
Let's get back to the story... I found three blue peas, but
they belonged to a girl named Lori. Lori was nice and gave
me the peas right away after she heard all about what
happened that day. I ran to the elf. On the way I found Liz,
so we went together and gave him the peas. He was really
happy and started laughing a sneaky laugh. "Your shadow is
behind you and I know your name is Jeff". "How do you know
that Jeff is my name?" "I know this because every Jeff is
lame". "So why did you use me? That's not really nice". "You
know, Jeff, everything comes with a price". I thanked him
for my shadow and I left with Liz, and that was my day with
my shadow and three blue peas.
