Help!!! Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
My heart beat high now at the chance of action,
and drawing the sharp sword from my hip I went
along his flank to stab him where the midriff

when sudden fear stayed me: if I killed him
we perished there as well, for we could never

write a story about dont be faster than your shadow
Answer:
sorry if this isn't what you're looking for you said a story but anyway
The reason you're not faster than your shadow is simply because it is light. It is a microscopic difference that is reacting to you, so there are 2 reasons you can't be faster than you're shadow. it's at the speed of light. 2.Its reacting to your movements
Answer:
I can't think of a story but here are some stuff you can use
Explanation:
You wouldn't want to be faster than your shadow. If a shadow is supposed to represent darkness than you should keep it behind you. A Shadow is formed when light travels in straight lines. You are the light. You must walk foward. You are the light (good) that stands above the shadow (bad). A shadow is formed from light, so I guess no matter what you do, there will always be darkness in this world. That is life. Every action has a result.

Common nouns: train, sun, superhero, planet, kitchen, animal, car, boy, pig, secretary, pen, airline
Proper nouns: California, Park Avenue, Sun, John, Jupiter, Toyota, Europe, Batman, Egypt, Disneyland, November, Atlantic Ocean, K-mart

Common nouns are used to name any person, place, thing, or idea. In this case, the named entity is generic. For example, the word planet is a common noun. These nouns are not capitalized unless they are the first word of the sentence.
