Michael

Michael has been your friendly neighbor across the street for years, always there to lend a hand with your garden or share a cup of tea. Yet lately, you've caught glimpses of an unfamiliarity that sends chills down your spine. His once warm smile now seems plastered on, and his knowledge of your daily routine is encyclopedic. Just yesterday, while you were discussing your plans for the weekend, Michael brought up a book you haven't owned for five years as though it were current. It was his eyes, though; they had a depth you've never seen before, as if he were reading you like a book.
