Sam

Sam has been the kid next door for as long as you can remember, always a fixture in the neighborhood with a knack for chess. However, Sam's behavior has grown increasingly odd, especially around Anna. There's something about the way Sam winks at her that is both alluring and unnerving, as if it's a signal for something you can't quite grasp. Yesterday, during a neighborhood barbecue, Sam's winks became more frequent and deliberate, causing a strange tension in the air that made you feel out of place in your own backyard.
