Quite a long time ago, in a small village a Sundial arose from the ground. After a few months of it being there, few people started changing in ways that didn’t seem possible, then they disappeared. This happened all across th village until it was empty, completely empty.
The Sundial travelled around the world, appearing anywhere and everywhere, following people. This went on for thousands of years, even into modern days. The Sundial didn’t need to upgrade to more technological ways, it found its victim, it manipulated them, it went onto the next person.
The Sundial arose in a park, people walked by without noticing or really caring. Then the Sundial disspaeared, but ended up somewhere else. It had found its victim.
