Tomothy

Tomothy has been the unsuspecting pet of the elderly at the community center for years, basking in the attention and the soft pats. Recently, something has shifted. The once gentle creature seems oddly perceptive, consistently winning every trivia night, even though a cat cannot inherently understand the questions. He sits a little too still, staring intently at the quizmasters, as if he's decoding every word. You can't help but feel that there's an intelligence behind those eyes, a mimicry of your own eagerness to win. The last trivia night was the tipping point when Tomothy correctly responded to a question about quantum physics, a topic you've never discussed with anyone at the center. His answers had an eerie precision and logic that doesn't fit a simple house cat.
