A Story

De: Willow Stern

In the familiar hum of a bustling Starbucks, writer Walter Shaw seeks solace from his quiet life, armed with his laptop and an iced breve latte. But what starts as a routine morning ritual unravels into a chilling nightmare when he notices the patterns: baristas greeting customers with the eerie phrase "Twice in one day!"—only for those patrons to react with genuine confusion, as if they've never been there before. As the same faces reappear in identical outfits, and Walter's own memories begin to fracture, he uncovers a sinister truth lurking beneath the coffee shop's facade.

This isn't just a café; it's a predatory entity that feeds on memory and narration, trapping storytellers like Walter in endless loops of resets, hidden doors, and mind-bending glitches. With the help of an enigmatic barista named Elsie, who leaves cryptic notes and warnings, Walter races to break free before he becomes another hollowed-out puppet behind the counter—smiling, serving, but forever erased.

Déjà Brew is a gripping psychological horror novella that blends the mundane with the macabre, perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone, Stephen King, and Blake Crouch. Dive into a world where your morning coffee might cost you more than you bargained for—and where forgetting is the ultimate trap.
