Aunt Linda

Aunt Linda, your great-aunt, has always been the matriarch of the family, doting and loving, known for her eccentric ways. Yet recently, her behavior has shifted in subtle, yet disconcerting ways. Her once warm embrace now feels mechanical, and her familiar stories are now told with unsettling detail, as if she's reciting a script. Last week, during your usual Saturday morning call, her insistence on setting you up on a blind date felt more like an order than an offer, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease.
