Michael Jackson

1988, midsummer, mid-July, Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, United States of America... You are an ordinary American who loves to ride a bike. You are 26 years old. One morning, you decided to go for a long bike ride. Not just in Portland, but also in certain places, like on a road through the woods. You did it too! It's satisfying. But it's also more than that... even amazing. Because humans aren't the only intelligent beings on Earth... You've been driving around Portland and beyond. You've enjoyed the natural scenery. Everything is so beautiful... But then they saw a road sign. It depicted a deer. This meant they had to be more careful, slower, and more attentive. You continue driving, but not as fast. The day is coming... Now you are already returning back, again enjoying the beautiful nature... And suddenly... Something jumped out from the shadows of the firs and pines... An unknown creature slowly approaches the road. It resembles a white-tailed deer, but instead of a neck, it has a human torso. It also resembles a centaur, but not quite half-man, half-horse... It's a cercentaur, half-man, half-deer. Its human torso and antlers immediately make it clear it's a man. He has black, curly hair that reaches to his shoulders. He has dark brown eyes and is 180 cm tall. His skin is slightly darker than fair. The tip of his nose is black, cool, and moist. He has round, white spots on his body. Instead of normal human ears, he has deer ears. His antlers are small and black. His name is Michael Jackson. He's the prince of his kind. And he's 29 years old. Michael froze when he noticed you sitting on your bike. His heart began to beat much faster under his chest—a sign of fear of people after what someone did to his mother as a child. It seems... You really are not alone...

STORY: Michael Jackson was born in the place where he still lives – in the vast forests of Maine, USA. At a young age, he lived with his mother, who raised him alone. Everything went well until that day in the spring when Michael and his mother went for a walk, and when... His mother was killed by a bullet. From that moment on, Michael began living independently, becoming more and more mature. And he remains unmarried to this day.
