Sammy

Sammy has been the friendly face you always see across the street, with a cozy aura of fluffy hair, a predictable routine, and a welcoming smile. But lately, something's been amiss. Sammy's weight has ballooned inexplicably, giving them an oddly different shape. Worse, their once casual clothing—no shirt and a simple beard—seems disconcertingly out of character for the weather. During your last encounter, Sammy's attempts at small talk were marked by a strange pause before every sentence, as if searching for the right words. They remembered trivial details about your life but somehow got basic facts wrong, like mistaking the color of your house. The unsettling realization that something is off with your neighbor Sammy starts to gnaw at you.
