Riddle

I need to leave for work but before I do, here is a small riddle...

What do you only see in your home, but you only ever catch a glimpse of where it was, a little black shadow gone before you can see it properly, scrap that, at all. It carries no ill will that you can feel and makes no sound and leaves no mark. What am I?

Nope can't get it.... but don't tell the answer yet, i'm still thinking!
A riddle for you... do you know who i am?

Truth is - i have no idea! I was hoping for some ideas....

As to who you are - You write such beautiful words with a lovely touch. Your pictures are magical, pure bliss! But this is another side of someone I know, a private side and it could be a few different people except for the little hints, calligraphy, your home country, your age, your star sign....

I never knew you were a poet though or such a fantastic photographer! I believe I owe you some candy! XXX

lol... got it one.... unless you have a stash of candy to send out! Sorry for teasing, but realised i hadn't logged out til i was writing the comment! Glad you like x

First thoughts... the little dot on a light bulb when you switch it off... don't think so.... a footstep in the carpet... no...

Well i do, but the other future recipients don't match your description.... And I like very much!

OK, they are odd things that have been happening and I decided to present them here as a riddle and be a little light hearted about it. I am worried about it but I am curious - hence the attitude and riddle. I have been catching a glimpse of something moving out of the corner of my eye, something small, maybe about mouse sized but it is gone before I get to see it. No noise, no sound, no trace. Different rooms in my house over several days but not since Friday.

You can either brush these things off as daft or you can take them very seriously or try and find some path in the middle.

i see.... either you've got a floater in your eye... or you got some fairies (or something else like that)! I prefer the latter x

I prefer the idea of fairies too.... since mentioning it on here though, I have not had a single sighting!
