Chapter thirteen: the only thing faster than light
Humans were once the fastest evolving species the speed at which they would create new things that had only been dreams but only a few years ago. All this speed all this creation only led to chaos as information could be spread at the tap of a button so could false information. As people began stop trusting those they could trust and began to trust lies. Humans were fated to turn on each other for no reason other than out of spite.
"So you guys new here?" Anna asked following along as the group began to walk into the suburbs
"Yea Lucy and Freyja haven't been here before they're from the slums" Enia said to Anna. This caused Lucy and Freyja to turn around and stare Enia down with glare saying that they would kill her.
"Cool well then let me take you to my favourite place here in the suburbs" Anna said as she began to run ahead. Rounding a corner to the groups surprise stood a building filled with people all shouting. Lucy and Freyja had never seen anything like it stunned in the moment Enia took their hands as they began to walk into the establishment. As Lucy regained herself she walked up to the door and slammed it open to her surprise the door seemed sturdy. As she did the restaurant fell silent as everyone looked her way
"Uh Lucy we don't do that kind of stuff here" Anna said grabbing Lucy's shoulder
"Oh, ok then" Lucy said looking only just realising how many people were inside the establishment
"Table for five please" Anna asked a waiter who then led them to free table near the back of the store placing down their menus Kristin immediately picking up the top menu and began to look through it.
"So Kristin it's been a while how have you been?" Anna asked ignoring the rest of the group
"I've been doing pretty well how about you?" Kristin responded not looking up from her menu
"Yea I've been pretty good" Anna said tears filling her eyes "and thank you, honestly you three bringing Kristin here I kind of skipped over introductions so let's start on fresh page shall we" as she did everyone picked up a menu
"Hey Lucy, what does this say" Freyja asked pointing to her menu
"That says Carmel waffle" Lucy responded "no idea what a waffle is though"
"They're like pancakes except a bit tougher and they have squares which the cooks fill with syrup" Anna said the confused look on both Lucy and Freyja's face telling her everything she needed to know
"You know what never mind they taste good" Anna said chuckling to herself
"Alright then I'll get the Carmel waffles" Freyja said excitedly as she placed the menu back on the table.
"Alright I'll get us a waiter then" Anna said as she stood up to get the attention of one of the staff members. A staff member approached table getting out their notepad and pen
"Hello, my names Zard and I'll be you waiter today what can I get you all" The man asked with a smile
"Yea whatever mister can I get the bacon breakfast wrap" Lucy said her attitude rude
"And I'll have the Carmel Waffle" Freyja said excitedly
"Can I get just a strawberry milkshake" Enia asked her voice quiet
"I'll have the seafood platter with a side of shrimp" Kristin said finally putting down her menu
"And I'll have a coffee with two extra shots please" Anna said
"Alright and that will come out to one hundred thirty-two dollars and twenty-five cents" The man said placing the bill on the table
"Don't worry I'll pay" Anna said pulling her wallet out of her pocket placing a hundred-dollar bill on the table as well as a fifty-dollar bill
