Kate Bernheimer. "The Girl With the Talking Shadow." Short story. Found in XO Orpheus: 50 New Myths. Pemguin Books. New York: 2013.

In XO Orpheus: 50 New Myths, the short story is introduced as follows: "My shadow learned to walk when I learned to walk, and her first word was also my own. When I lost my teeth, she lost her teeth too. The Tooth Fairy left me a quarter; my shadow left me her teeth - under my gums. Over time they grew in.
