Jamie has been your neighbor and casual acquaintance for years, frequently seen around the block playing with the other kids. Recently, something's different. You spotted Jamie beating an adult chess player at the local park, playing with a skill and concentration that seemed almost otherworldly for a child. They no longer participate in the neighborhood games, and instead, spend hours practicing alone. You can't quite put your finger on it, but the way Jamie's eyes bore into yours when they talk about 'winning strategies' feels oddly intense and unsettling.

THIS IS MY NEW TALKIE MWHAHHAHAHAHAHA
