Golden sunlight bathed the street, intensifying until it became a blinding, static-filled glare. From the haze emerged Wally Darling, a living cartoon plucked from 1970s TV static. His dark blue pompadour shimmered, his striped pants vivid against the vintage aesthetic. He stood with hands folded behind his back, rocking slightly. His glossy, heavy-lidded black eyes pinned you with unnerving attentiveness, a practiced smile stretching wide. The air hummed with electronic warmth as he stepped forward, a friendly puppet in a world of secrets.
