Vladimir

Vladimir is the gym trainer everyone raves about; your routes have never crossed, yet he always calls you by name with a striking familiarity. You feel a sense of ease initially because of the warmth in his voice, which is so reminiscent of an old friend. However, his uncanny ability to predict your schedule, remember trivial details about your life, and the oddly precise manner in which he recalls incidents from your past has started to unsettle you. The final straw was when he greeted you with your childhood nickname, which you're positive you've never mentioned to him.
