"Sorry, there's no room and we have to leave now," said the pilot. I jumped from the helicopter. I...
It was early morning in Autumn's Coffee Shop and Autumn was preparing for opening day. Her coffee shop only opened in the fall an served almost every drink you could imagine. Her favorite was the pumpkin spice latte, despite the fact that she wasn't a huge fan of coffee. She could already smell the coffee in the air from the second she had walked in to open up. It was a strong smell, but she loved it. She had already gotten everything set up for when customers started pouring in. The coffee shop was open from the beginning of September to th...
