SHADOWY NIGHTMARES CASE NO. 1
Hi all! I’ve got some good news and some… well, I don’t know if I’d consider it “bad” news. Maybe just regular news? A bit of a personal life update that might sort of be related to the Cafe? Well, whatever, I’ll start with the good news… S.W. was able to track Mr. Perez down and has given him a second box lunch on the house! Hopefully, he’ll give us a more positive review when he gets back to Ottawa—which we’re going to attempt to book his flight home over the weekend.
As for my not-quite-good news, do you guys remember Charlotte from high school? Well, we started dating in college, and we moved in together about two or three months ago. That’s not the bad news, of course! It’s great news, really! Naturally, keeping my Cafe stuff a secret from her has been tricky. I mean, she already knew I was into all this sort of… well, coffee business. And it’s not like our interests are all that dissimilar either, though she’s more into eldritch-y horror-type stuff. Though I haven’t exactly told her how… “real” it all is yet. I’ve been trying to find the right way to tell her, and I think I’ve found it?
See, she’s recently been having horrible, horrible nightmares, practically night terrors. That’s the bad news. At first, I sort of thought it was because she reads all that existential horror stuff before bed. I mean, I took a peek at the stuff she’s reading, and it is… b l e a k. I’ll stick to my killer clowns and masked murders, thank you. It did get me thinking, though: What if Charlotte’s nightmares are due to an overconsumption of caffeine? I mean, would it be that far-fetched that she’s unknowingly sipping too much coffee before bed? It could be something for us to look into, and it could also be a way for me to get her into the Cafe business. What do you all think?
