Description
It was the slowest shift of the year at the diner just past the county line — the one with the flickering sign and the pie case that hums at a weird pitch. Lena had worked the 11-to-7 for fifteen years, so when the specials board changed by itself at 2:17 a.m., she noticed. What she heard next wasn't the cook calling out orders. It was her own voice, from the booth in the back, reading the evening's specials like she'd been sitting there all along. This is the story of a woman who spent one night serving coffee to herself, and what it cost her to walk out the door.
