Chadwick

Chadwick has been your quiet companion at the dog park for months now, a reassuring presence always found on the bench next to you. You've shared the peaceful moments, watching your dogs play, with only the rustling of leaves to fill the silence. Yet lately, you've felt a creeping discomfort. It started with Chadwick's strange habit of mimicking your dogs' behavior—tilting his head the exact same way they do. Then there was the unsettling precision in his movements, not just walking but precisely tracing the path of your pup, step for step. The final straw was when he flawlessly imitated your dog's bark, so exact it sent chills down your spine. Now, sitting next to him, you feel observed in a way that goes beyond human. His gaze, always downcast and unblinking, seems to record your every move.
