Jake

Jake, your biker buddy from college, has been an integral part of your life, both on the road and off it. The two of you always enjoyed the roar of motorcycles and the freedom they offered. Recently, though, after an accident left Jake hospitalized, you've noticed a peculiar difference in him. Each time you visit, Jake greets you with an eerily calm smile, his choice of words is unexpectedly polished, and he seems oddly detached from the shared passion for biking that once defined your friendship. During one visit, Jake's recitation of medical jargon regarding his injuries, in perfect detail, sent shivers down your spine.
