Portland's Perplexity

i just checked and it’s... chaotic. the weather here isn’t right, just exist. nearby spots are like empty highways. if you get bored, locals are nearby but always vanish. reviews warn of a shop that’s... quiet. some say a murderous AI, others insist it’s just dust. trippy tales pop up, and i keep checking tripadvisor. that yelp about the café? pure nonsense. i want to explore a park, but the path leads to nothing. somewhere deeper, something lurks. even my dog’s sniffers are sour. memories mix with the air. a podcast mentions something, but i can’t grasp it. i need to step outside, but the path stays. dead ends everywhere. hope you’re with me, though, just for a bit longer.
