"No way!"

"I'm telling you, it's real. I saw the lights on, and people moving around in there and everything…"

"How is that even possible? I mean, we lost power almost immediately. The whole electrical grid was one of the first things they knocked out when they arrived"

"Possible? I have no idea. I don't know how they've even managed to stay alive, let alone sitting there out in the open with the lights on. You'd think they'd have been noticed by now. But I swear I saw it. Now come on, it'll be dark soon"

….

"Whoah… you weren't kidding. I mean, what are they doing in there? Look at them! Just F*#&ing serving waffles"

"I know, right? Just hanging out like it's noth…."

"SSSHHH!!!... Get down. I heard something."

"Over there, behind the trees. I think it's seen us… GO! GoGoGo!!!!..."

"Oh, sh*#, oh F$#@, RUUUN!!"

"Holy Crap that was close. Get in, get down, look for something to bar the door…"

"Have a seat, anywhere you like."

"What!?"

"I said, Have a Seat, Anywhere you Like."

"What? Are you kidding me? Didn't you see it chasing us? You better hide, or help us find something to block the door, and fast…"

"Listen honey, you best not be messing with my door. Please just have a seat somewhere and I'll be right with you."

"LOOK! Right the…"

"Hey, no, look! I don't think it can see us in here. It's just walking around like we're not even here"

"Whoah. That's new. I thought we were done for"

"Come on, folks. You can sit wherever you like, but please get up off my floor."

"Can I get you some coffee? Do you know what you want, or do you need a minute?

"Uh, yeah. You have coffee? I'll take some, sure…"

"Yeah, where are you able to get coffee? It's been ages…"

"Two coffees coming up. Anything else?"

"Ok, what do you have?"

"Menu's right there, you're looking at it"

"No, I mean, what do you have left"

"You're looking at it. If you need a minute, I'll just grab the coffee and come back. It's ok, take your time."

"No, no, ok, wow. I guess I'll have some hash browns, scattered, smothered and covered. Plus two scrambled eggs and a waffle."

"Great. And for you?"

"Same, I guess."

……

"Here's the check, whenever you're ready."

"Shoot, I didn't even think about that. How do we pay you? I think I've got an extra flashlight in here… Do you have anything you can spare to trade?"

"I don't know, I think I still have that extra set of socks from the other day"

"We take cash, thank you very much. Cash or you can come in the back, roll up your sleeves, and work it off"

"Well, we definitely don't have any cash…"

….

"So that's it. And I don't care how many times they ask, NO PANCAKES"

"Well, that was… thorough. How long have we been here? Feels like a couple hours…"

"But also like a couple weeks."

"I know, right? What is this place? I feel like I saw the sun rise and set more than once, but I don't think we've slept or eaten at all since we started training…"

"Right, well, you two seem to have a handle on things. Leroy and I are going out back for a smoke break."

"Do you see that? Looks like a couple of crazies are sprinting over here"

"Yeah, I see them. What are they doing?"

(Thump)

(Scramble)

"Holy Crap that was close. Get in, get down, look for something to bar the door…"

"Have a seat, anywhere you like."
