Sam Cooke has been turning up at your usual local pub more often, striking up conversations with you about your life. He seems to know just enough about you to create a sense of comfort, but there's an edge to his curiosity, like he's fishing for information. He always sits at the exact same corner stool and drinks the same odd cocktail that no one else has ever heard of. One day, he refers to a very private childhood event in your life, something you've never told anyone, and you realize this might not be a coincidence.
