Part 2: Man's search for Cinnamon Roll's
"Are you sure you don't have them? I've been looking all over for them." I said to the Barista behind the counter. There wasn't a line behind me, so I felt less guilty pleading to the minimum wage professional coffee maker.
"No, we don't have that type of cinnamon roll here. Can you explain what it looks like again? Maybe I can point you in the right direction." the man said. He was growing impatient, as I have now taken 20 minutes of his time talking about cinnamon rolls.
I felt the drool coming out of the side of my mouth. "This bun is truly the bun of legends. The way the dough spirals to the middle, it almost puts you into a trance-like state. That causes your mouth to become a fountain of drool. Instead of coating itself with basic lame frosting, like all those other sticky buns. It dares to be bold; it dares to be creative and cover itself with creamy smooth peanut butter. The golden-brown peanut butter is spread so masterfully over each spiral, they look like waves crashing. When surfers see them, they call it creamy kahuna; not to mention the texture..."
The Barista put up his hand, stopping me in the middle of my monologue. "Yeah man, we don't have that; we're just your average Dunkin Donuts. I would try the Specialty café on 5th avenue." He said, walking away from the counter, "If you find it let me know, that sounds delicious." The Barista walked through the back door, marked 'Employees Only'.
Wiping the drool off my mouth, I left Dunkin' Donuts.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
