Magnolia just started a new job at the odd 24 hour coffee shop in a curious corner of New York City. She's just thankful she didn't get the witching hour shift, instead she has "the dead shift," as she likes to call it. Who in their right mind drinks coffee between 7pm and 1am?
Enter Hendrix, a regular of the shop who always arrives exactly at midnight, and always orders the same exact thing. Only to leave as soon as it's done.
Troubled by the mysterious gentleman, she extends an arm out to him and attempts to get at least a smile out of Hendrix. All while trying to survive the oddities surrounding her.

Lucas was beyond annoyed. "Why'd you press that button?" He said, angrily. "It was an accident." "Well, we're stopped now. You pressed the stopping button." "Ok...can you undo it?" "Do I look like elevator maintenance?" "Fine!" She said with the same tone, as she pressed the red button on the elevator key. She assumed that the red button was for elevator maintenance. "What are you doing?!" Lucas exclaimed. "What?" "You just pressed the fire button. Now the fire department is going to show up!" "Well, how am I supposed to know?! I thought it was the help button." All of her tiredness went away in the heat of the moment. "Maybe open your eyes and read what it says." "Open my eyes?!" She was livid, so she let him have it. "I had two hours of sleep last night! Two! Because someone decided that they want to have a nightclub in their pent house...in the middle of the night! Oh and to add on that...I've been at work for the past eighteen hours! Eighteen! So don't start telling me to open my eyes and read what it says when you're the reason I am so sleep deprived and making mistakes!" Lucas just stared at her with a straight face and asked in the most serious tone, "Are you normal?"Complete
regrets of a dead CEO
Gideon Pierce should feel unstoppable. The promotion to CEO of CE Enterprises was everything he worked for - power, prestige, proof that he had won. Instead, he feels nothing. No pride. No joy. Just a hollow, gnawing emptiness he can't outrun. So he does what men like him always do - buries it beneath excess. Alcohol. Ego. A gleaming new car. The illusion of control. Until one reckless decision shatters everything. A drunk drive. A moment of arrogance. A silent challenge to death itself. The crash should have killed him. It didn't. Gideon crawls from the wreckage, furious at the inconvenience, convinced he's escaped with nothing worse than a ruined suit and the threat of pneumonia before his first day as CEO. But something followed him out of that river. Something unseen. Something patient. The world begins to shift. Time feels wrong. Reality slips at the edges. And Gideon can feel his place in it... loosening. What happened to him beneath the dark water? And how do you fix a mistake when the cost was your soul? Regrets of a Dead CEO is a haunting psychological descent into guilt, consequence, and the thin line between redemption and damnation - where facing your demons may be the only way to survive them... or the final step toward becoming one.Complete
