As Rocky basked in the children’s affection, a few parents approached, watching with a mix of smiles and curiosity.
“We’ve seen his other owner—a shadowy figure usually,” one mother whispered to me, eyes darting to the park’s edge.
“Strange, disappearing without a word” she added, voice hushed. The description was vague, yet it matched Rocky’s restless adventures perfectly.
It seems Rocky held a magnifying glass to truths sheltered in shadows.
