About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an optician named Krys closed up shop, she heard a strange clicking sound coming from behind her counter. Curious, she turned around and saw nothing but empty shelves—until she noticed tiny lenses dancing in the air above them. Curiously, she reached out to grab one lens, only for it to bounce off her hand like a rubber ball. Just then, a delivery driver knocked on the door, asking if he could use the bathroom. Startled, Krys explained what was happening, and together they watched as the lenses formed themselves into little spectacle frames. The next morning, everyone in town wore glasses with unique, randomly assigned prescriptions—some better than others, of course.

2. Early morning, and an optician named Krys was wrapping up her shift when she noticed something peculiar on the counter. A small, dusty box had been left behind—its label unreadable but for one curious note scribbled in pencil: 'For Ms. Krys.' She opened it carefully, revealing a pair of antique spectacles with mismatched lenses. Curious, she tried them on—and suddenly found herself seeing double everything! It turned out to be a prank from a delivery driver who’d heard her complaining about her vision that day. With a laugh, she adjusted the frames, and they vanished like magic.

3. Late one night, as an optician named Krys adjusted the last pair of glasses before closing, she noticed something strange outside the window. A familiar face peered in, waving a handbag full of old spectacles. Curious, Krys unlocked the door and stepped out into the moonlit street. The figure turned around, revealing only a kindly smile and a cloud of old-fashioned perfume. ‘Same time tomorrow?’ it asked. With that, the stranger vanished into the shadows, leaving behind just a clatter of dropped frames. Krys laughed softly, shaking her head—and found herself smiling at the quirky regular who never failed to make her day brighter.

4. Early morning, and an optician named Krys was wrapping up her shift when she noticed something peculiar outside the window—an old man in a trench coat was frantically waving his arms, pointing at the sign that read ‘Closed.’ Curious, Krys opened the door just enough for him to peer inside. ‘Closed,’ she repeated with a smile. The old man nodded enthusiastically and whispered, ‘Just checking if you’re really there.’ She laughed gently, ushering him away. Later, over coffee, she mused, ‘Maybe he thought I’d fixed his glasses last week without charging him.’
