"Trafic again...go figure."
Nicole Carlson was a 39 year old single buisnesswoman,working for an insurance company..Every day was the same.She had to fill up contracts and bults on the computer,and be the "punching bag" of unhappy customers.And most of the time,she had to do over time.Tonight she finished her shift at 11h30 PM.
It's not like there was someone or something to look forward to waitng at home.Most of the hobbies she loved to do and enjoy 20 years ago have been declaired illegal ever since the new goverment had taken office.
But it was all about to change.
"Not again," Her flying car broke down again.It proceeded to land in an unknown corner of the city.One that Nicole dosen't know.She was thankful that her car add could land while on autopilot if it breaks down.
She landed near a elevator near a skyscrapper.Nicole got out of her car and went inside the elevator.Hoping there was a garage,or something else that could help her restore her car.She only had a few hours to sleep before she had to return to work for another stressful day.She noticed a familliar button on the elevator."A coffee mug?" she said.It was along time since it haven't seen one.Perharps it meant that it would lead to a coffeehouse.Good timing,perharps she could use their holo phone to call a mechanic who could repair her car.
She pushed the button.The elevator went down.
------------------------------------
As the elevator's doors opened,Nicole looked at the shop that was before her.It was indeed a coffeehouse,and a very nice one too.She noticed a young woman at the counter,
"Hello." Nicole asked the young woman."My car broke down nearby and I need to call for a mechanic and a pickup."
"I'm sorry." the young woman said."We don't have a phone here.But I'm sure you came here for something else."
"What do you mean?" Nicole asked,confused."I can see that you looked sad,stressed.Plus you don't seem to sleep alot." she added.
"Yeah,you got that right." Nicole replied.
"That got just what you need,that is,if you accept to follow me inside my coffeehouse and show you what we sell." said the young woman.Nicole thought about it.It was a coffeehouse after all. A good coffee would help her gain some energy.
"Very well." said Nicole."Lead the way."
The young woman opened the door to the exhausted business woman who came inside.
"My name is Ann by the way." said the young woman.
"I'm Nicole."
"That's good,but you don't need to tell me your real name since you'll need another one for the next 24 hours." Ann replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Nicole asked.
Ann handed a menu to Nicole.
Nicole thought that these were the coffee,teas and other drinks they served.She browsed through it and was confused at some of the themes.But one interested her in particular.
