Freewrite 2699 - “The Daily Grind”

in Freewriters6 days ago

In a picturesque college town, on a street the satellite images never quite captured, sat the Cafe California. It was most definitely owned by a demon and staffed exclusively by insanely attractive, glamored-up fey creatures. It was also, oddly enough, the only place to get a decent cup of coffee anywhere near the campus.

It was this fact that propelled Julia, an adjunct professor in the faculty of Paranormal Studies who should damn well know better, to enter that cursed space every morning without fail.

And every morning when they asked for her name she would give some ridiculous answer.

“Stegasaurus.”

“Lake Titicaca.”

“Harry Potter, Boy Wizard…stop glaring at me! And don't forget to write the whole thing on the cup.”

She patted the glowing amulet in her pocket discretely and smirked. All that research she'd done as an undergrad on loopholes that allowed for safe consumption of enchanted foods? Worth it.
