Dreadnut

Your sister Lily is sick, and her treatment is expensive. The all-night donut shop by the hospital bus line is hiring for seven nights: ten to six, fifty a night plus tips, and a continuation contract if you work out. You are Alex Carter, and you take the job.

TALK TO CUSTOMERS

Take orders at the register and get to know the night crowd: Jack the cab driver, Nora from the hospital and whoever else walks in out of the rain. Then fry, glaze and fill the donuts, flip pancakes, bake cakes and cookies, pour coffee, box it all up, set it on the pickup tray and ring the bell. Count the cash into the register, mop up the spills and keep the shop open until six.

STORY

You took this job for Lily. The work is simple and the pay is good. But every night, after the last regular leaves, the same customer walks in: a dark coat, a face the light never quite reaches. And something in the shop starts to change.
