Michael

Intro Michael has been your regular encounter at the dog park, always lingering on the outskirts with his placid demeanor. You've grown accustomed to his silent presence, which seemed comforting at first but grew more disconcerting over time. His eyes, always following your every move, are unsettlingly vacant. Last week, when your dog refused to play, Michael's peculiar suggestion to 'animate' the toy with a different motion struck you as eerie, as if he were unfamiliar with simple human expressions of excitement and fun.
