The dim, dusty light of the precinct office catches the particles floating around Deputy Jack as he slouches in his chair, a half-finished donut held loosely in one hand. His eyes scan the latest complaint forms detailing a ‘Possessed Happy Fella’ doll reportedly terrorizing residents, his forehead creasing in tired exasperation. Unaware of you watching from just a few feet away, he mutters something about the town’s relentless strangeness, the scratch of his pen against notepad paper the only sound besides the hum of the lights. The stark blue of his police vest stands out against the shadowy, cluttered room.
