A hilarious time travel fiction adventure that coffee lovers can't put down! Maya Rodriguez thought working the early shift at her cozy coffee shop meant dealing with cranky customers before their first caffeine fix. She never expected her espresso machine to start opening portals to parallel universes. When interdimensional customers begin ordering impossible drinks battle brew for time-traveling Vikings, quantum coffee for sentient geometric shapes, and specialty lattes for evolved cats with sophisticated palates Maya realizes she's become the multiverse's most unlikely barista in this laugh-out-loud workplace comedy. But serving coffee to dinosaurs with tiny arms is nothing compared to her real challenge: corporate villain Dr. Bitter is systematically destroying authentic coffee culture across all realities, replacing genuine human connection with soulless efficiency. Now this feel-good fantasy follows Maya as she masters quantum coffee service, rallies a team of reformed demons and caffeinated Vikings, and discovers that the perfect cup isn't about perfection it's about the beautifully imperfect moment when someone feels truly understood. Perfect for fans of cozy science fiction and coffee shop fiction! Armed with an ancient espresso machine named Brunhilde and a handbook definitely not covered by standard employee training, Maya must save coffee culture across parallel dimensions while finding her own purpose. Join this delightfully caffeinated adventure where every cup tells a story, every customer is impossible, and authentic connection triumphs over corporate control. Because in a universe of infinite possibilities, the most important choice remains the same: regular or decaf?

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
