Imaginative Short Story Fantasy Anthologies:
From The Fictional Journals of the Time Merchant Café.
Welcome to the Time Merchant Café, a place where each cup of delicious coffee comes steeped in destiny. Unseen by the average passerby and revealed only to those chosen by its proprietor, this mysterious café offers more than just exceptional coffee. It serves as a crossroads for patrons, each selected by the enigmatic proprietor known as the Immortal Waiter—an ageless steward of human destinies whose own immortality is intricately tied to the fates of those he serves.
In this captivating collection of tales, patrons find themselves face-to-face with their potential futures. The Immortal Waiter, with his profound insight into the paths of mortals, offers visions could produce salvation or spell doom. Each decision not only affects the lives of his patrons but also his own longevity. When a patron’s life is shortened by their visit, his life is extended by the same number of years; conversely, if their life is extended, his accumulated years decrease by that amount. This peculiar bond often stirs debates about his true intentions and moral judgments.
Through each story, readers will explore intricate tales of love, despair, courage, and redemption—all viewed through the lens of the Immortal Waiter’s unique perspective. These tales are not just personal transformations but are deep reflections on the timeless questions of morality, the weight of decisions, and the influence of foreknowledge on human choice. Not all outcomes end well for the patrons, but in the mind of the Immortal Waiter, each end has served its purpose—a purpose at the crux of many moral debates.
