Notes From A Greenhouse On The Edge Of Town
Story outline · 8 beats
We meet Aiko in a greenhouse on the edge of town. The cats have started running the business. The air is tight as a wire, and nothing has gone wrong yet.
I wasn't looking for this. But the cats have started running the business, and now I can't unsee it.
You think you can just walk in and fix it? a greenhouse on the edge of town has rules. I wrote most of them.
Every time I get close, the health inspector with a grudge gets there first. I'm starting to think the a spreadsheet of extremely illegal pastries was never the point.
Halfway through, Aiko realises the a spreadsheet of extremely illegal pastries is not a clue — it is a promise someone broke.
If you open that, Aiko will never forgive you. And neither will I.
The truth is that the health inspector with a grudge has been protecting Aiko all along.
Every second is borrowed. For the first time, Aiko believes it.
