Fifteen minutes ago, William left his apartment for some food. Now he’s returned.

WQB comes home from getting fast food and discovers an enormous intruder in his kitchen. Right before WQB can spray it with his pepper spray, WQB goes unconcious and falls to the floor.

The intruder is tall. Will feels alarmed. He hurries back downstairs, opens his garage, and gets into his car to retrieve the pepper spray he keeps in his glove compartment. The loud snoring of the tent guy next door goes completely unnoticed as he retrieves his self-defense weapon. He returns to his front door, slowly and carefully unlocking it. He opens it as quietly as possible and is immediately barraged with a thick cedar and pine oil stench. He coughs quietly once before quickly covering his nose. His eyes begin to water, and his skin feels the heavy weight of what he can only guess is the air itself.

He stands there, staring at the pot for what feels like half an hour, until his phone rings.

WQB passes time watching TV. While doomscrolling on his phone looking for Trading card Games, he notices that the PBS News mentions a woman stalking Help Desk Technicians. A picture of a big breasted woman is on the news while the police talk about her. His mind is distracted again.

He lifts his drooping head and brings his gaze magnetically to the cleavage of a large breasted woman featured in the police story on the news. The male officer was speaking to the female news anchor while a redacted head shot was placed on the screen to the right of them. All William could focus on were the bulging breasts launching out of the pink top of the stalker the officer was warning the public about. His imagination took over and fantasized about them heaving up and down accompanied with the same heavy breathing he experienced at work earlier in the day. Immediately his own obelisk made him shift his body significantly because the constriction of his pants started to hurt him.

As Will made his way toward the checkout, weaving through the aisles, a flash of recognition stopped him cold.

While WQB is at the store shopping for a plant pot and soil, he swears he sees someone that he recognizes from the evening he went to the Magic Door bookstore.

Down one aisle, a man, uncannily like the bearded stranger from last night, stood studying a bag of fertilizer, now dressed in a sharp suit and tie. The colored braids were gone, his beard neat and ordinary. Will hesitated, uncertain. Was it really him? He turned back for another look, but the man had already vanished.

He opened the container again. To his amazement, all the beans lay loose. The plastic bag had vanished.

WQB opens and closes the Magical Bean container and notices that they seem to be repositioning themselves into a Happy Face. Then he removes the instructions and fully reads them.

His breath hitched, and he slammed the lid shut, heart pounding, stomach twisting with nervous energy. For a long moment, he just stared, blinking, struggling to process what he'd seen.

The fridge is across from the stove. He opens it, revealing an almost barren interior except for two items:

WQB opens his cupard revealing his secret Weed stash. He grabs the Skywalker Indica, the lighter, the Smoke Buddy, and the bong, and sits down at his small, round kitchen table. He puffs a bowl then reads the Magical Beans instructions.

William grabs CannaBracula and places it on his old yellow Formica counter top next to the stove. He opens the cabinet above, and pushes to the side his Weight Mate meal replacement powder and pulls down from the top shelf an old 1980s Transformers lunch pail with Optimus Prime on the lid. Opening it, he found various small, colored medical cannabis containers. Some of which are: Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Mother’s Finest, Jack Herer, Durban Poison, and Strawberry Cough Sativas. Also present, are containers labeled Skywalker OG, White Widow, Blueberry, Purple Rain, Master, Northern Lights, God’s Gift and Banana Indicas. Additionally, there is one red mini BIC lighter and a small, black, charcoal-filtered device called a Smoke Buddy.

He pulls into a dark alley laced with broken glass, reeking dumpsters, and the stench of human waste left behind by drunks and addicts.

WQB drives through a filthy alley, parks his suv into his wooden garage, and walks upstairs to his Aprtment.

Decorating both sides of the alley are cars and trucks, some jammed against the curb, others barely within the lines. William gets lucky this time: no one's blocking his garage. He stops the car, unlocks the old wooden door, and lifts it with a creak. As he walks back to the driver’s seat to pull in, a voice echoes from somewhere nearby.

Her eyes twinkle as she smiles. “Can I help you find something special today?”

WQB is offered a free cup of coffee with any SciFi Fantasy Book purchase. As he waits he discovers a mysterious secret door that he thought didnt exist earlier.

“I recommend the Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel Scripture. The owner said she mysteriously received a copy one quiet Sunday morning just as she opened the store. It’s about a magic pencil that can create doorways into other worlds. It can summon gods, fairies, gnomes, and other magical beings and even weave powerful spells.”

“Sorry, ma’am, I didn’t mean to mess up your books. I’ll put them back.”

WQB restocks the books he knocked over when entering the Magic Door book store while Chu Mei stands behind the counter watching.

Inside, the bookstore’s walls and ceiling were laced with intricate patterns that resembled the roots of an ancient, enchanted tree. Soft amber light filtered through hidden lamps, casting shadows that seemed to shift and dance on their own. The air carried the scent of old paper, warm cedarwood, and something sweeter, a hint of pipe tobacco, as though the ghosts of authors past still lingered between the shelves. From somewhere deep within, a faint phonograph tune played: scratchy jazz that ebbed and flowed like a memory, mingling with the soft rustle of unseen pages turning themselves.
