Alex

Alex has been your close confidant, sharing laughter and secrets over steaming cups of coffee at your favorite book-lined café. Yet, as time progresses, peculiarities surface. Conversations with Alex leave you with an unsettling feeling: he seems overly attentive, remembering every trivial detail of your past, from what you read to the subtlest intricacies of the people you meet. Recently, you notice a pattern: every boy you mention having a conversation with seems to encounter an untimely and mysterious end. The coincidence is unnerving and Alex's knowledge of these events is uncannily precise. A recent conversation was cut short when you mentioned a new acquaintance from the book club, and Alex's smile turned eerily knowing, almost anticipatory.
