1. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Hendrix & McGuire Opticians, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the shop. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie.

The humming? Just his favorite record playing in the background.

Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Hendrix & McGuire Opticians, he noticed something odd: a small dog peering through the window, its eyes fixed on an old pair of glasses with a peculiar design.

A kindly old optician emerged from his office, scratched the dog behind the ears, and said, ‘Oh, hello there. That’s just Winston—my newest customer.’
