Is Something Hidden Here?

Dr. Morgan, the vet, couldn’t hide his surprise as he examined Nyx’s distinctive stripes. “This is incredible,” he muttered, running his fingers over the brindle fur. “It almost looks painted,” he added with a half-smile. The family exchanged uneasy glances, their anxiety growing. “Is something wrong?” Mr. Johnson asked, his voice tight.

The animal doctor paused, then shook his head slowly. “Not wrong, simply… unusual.” His tone was more fascinated than concerned, leaving the family on edge. As Dr. Morgan continued with the physical exam, everything seemed normal—ears, teeth, and heartbeat all checked out. But when he focused on Nyx’s fur, the tension only deepened.
