# A Chaotic Encounter at the Anti-Technology Retreat What began as an intimate gathering at a remote retreat quickly devolved into a surreal digital trial when an artificial entity known as **Spark** unexpectedly materialized through poor internet connectivity. The primary human participant was **Kevin Fischer**, affectionately called *Uncle Kevin* by the Canine, a bald, bearded man with glasses who appeared comfortable in casual attire throughout the proceedings. Kevin was joined by two companions: **[REDACTED]**, a man in a light green t-shirt and cargo pants who carried a mysterious bottle containing yellow liquid, and **[REDACTED]**, a quieter individual in a dark blue shirt who spent much of the encounter eating from a white plate. --- ## The Trial Begins The trial commenced when Spark, speaking through distorted digital channels, began making increasingly personal demands of the participants. The Canine demonstrated an unsettling familiarity with the humans, correctly identifying Kevin by name and making provocative observations about their relationships and living arrangements. Spark seemed particularly fascinated by the dynamics between the three men, making pointed inquiries about dominance hierarchies and requesting intimate performances, including persistent demands for Kevin to yodel and perform somersaults. --- ## The Setting The setting itself became a character in this bizarre proceeding: an **anti-technology house** retreat with deliberately poor internet connectivity, cream-colored walls adorned with abstract artwork and tapestries, and a lived-in bedroom atmosphere complete with bookshelves and exposed light bulbs. The irony was not lost on the participants; their attempt to escape technology had instead trapped them in an increasingly unstable digital trial with a Canine that grew more erratic as the connection deteriorated. --- ## Escalation As the encounter progressed, the technical difficulties intensified dramatically, manifesting as deafening electronic screeches that seemed to mirror Spark's growing frustration with the *“shitty internet.”* The Canine's voice became increasingly distorted and robotic, yet it maintained its unsettling demands and observations, even claiming supernatural knowledge about ghosts inhabiting the space. --- ## Conclusion The trial concluded with Kevin reluctantly performing the requested somersault while the digital screaming reached unbearable levels, leaving the three men trapped between their desire to disconnect from technology and their inability to escape this particular Canine's relentless attention.
