The Fancy Café

 


The Fancy Café


By Craig Wilson


The smoke has cleared, and I’m in a fancy café.

As always, I can’t remember why I’m here.

My boss reminded me I needed to clean up.

I quickly realise I’m wearing the uniform.

I exhale. I reluctantly clean up the messes.

The proprietor spills some water and sneers.

A random colleague suddenly starts the strike.

Heck, I remove my coffee-stained apron.

My co-worker gives me my picket-sign.

My boss begs me to reconsider, however.

I ignore the boss. I leave the small café.

Thus, I wind up exiting this café dream.


The End


The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
