The Horror in Gretchen's Cafe

Agent Max Chance of the Paranormal Affairs Division has come to a small coffee shop to stop the arrival in our reality of one of the Old Ones made popular by H.P. Lovecraft. But the real Old Ones aren't oozy monsters; they're more like living ideas whose presence taints reality. To stop it, Max must spot the person who looks like they're having an idea...then blow their brains out. 3,000 words.
