Hey /lit/, can I implore you guys to help me polish up a short story? This is going to be a major component in a business proposal for my cafe. I need it to invoke the feeling of escaping to your favorite cafe in a small busy suburb. But my writing is terrible. I haven't written in years so pls no bully ;-;
>I step through the door like I have at least a dozen times since they opened. The aroma of newly ground coffee and freshly baked bagels comforts me while the smooth jazz playing dimly coaxes me to unwind after a hectic morning at the office.
>Over by the window sits a group of health conscious college students drinking frozen fruit waters and eating roasted veggie wraps. All the ingredients here are clean, freshly made, and locally sourced. I take my place in line. The woman in front of me ordering fit her whole office lists seemingly complicated coffee drinks but the barista behind the counter is a master of her craft and doesn't break a sweat.
>I direct my eyes to the baked goods in the display case. Ooh, that looks good. A Napoleon. Almond paste and pastry cream between flaky layers of delicate dough. I'll have to remind myself to pick one up I my way home tonight. I look at the menu board and see that the new bagel this week is jalapeño cheddar. That would go really good with eggs bacon lettuce and tomato in the morning. Maybe I'll try a roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich today. By decide to get my usual. African peanut stew I'm a bread bowl with a Greek salad. And a specialty tea. Yes, lunch has never been so good. My attention drifts back to the counter where the barista is carefully typing the last mocha latte with foam. She pays and leaves and I step forward.
>"Hi, welcome back," The barista smiles. "Your usual?" I nod, "and a white pineapple tea." As she readies my order I take a moment to admire the artwork adorning the walls. It's all from local artists or something. My order is ready, I finish paying just as a small group of people enters. Some people come here to order gourmet baked goods and coffee as gifts. Some are professionals treating their clients to a fresh lunch. Some are on their way to work getting a breakfast sandwich and coffee in the morning. Ann's others come for the power smoothies and frozen fruit waters after a hard workout. Whatever the reason they sure are becoming popular.
>"Enjoy!" The barista waves as I turn to leave.
I don't know how else to end it. Thoughts?
