About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Cloudbreak Optics, an elderly gentleman tried on a new pair of glasses one morning. ‘These make my eyes look like they’re floating,’ he remarked to the optician. Since then, customers occasionally report seeing strange reflections in their lenses—like distant mountains or tiny birds flying past.’ One day, a delivery driver popped in for his prescription and noticed something odd. As he looked through his new frames, he saw not just his usual reflection but also what appeared to be a miniature version of himself waving from behind the lens! The optician shrugged it off as another Cloudbreak Optics phenomenon, but the driver swears he waved back.
2. A curious delivery driver pulled up outside Cloudbreak Optics one morning. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something strange—all the mannequins in the window seemed to be blinking their eyes. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old gentleman adjusting glasses with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Ah,’ said the optician, ‘they’re just my new special edition blinkers—they help customers decide on frames faster.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, wondering if maybe he’d seen too many late-night sci-fi movies.
3. In the dimly lit hallway of Cloudbreak Optics, a soft humming sound could be heard late one night. It wasn’t coming from any machine or device—just a gentle, almost musical tone that grew louder and more persistent as the hours passed. Finally, an old man appeared in the doorway, his glasses askew and a puzzled expression on his face. 'What’s all this noise?' he asked. The humming stopped instantly, replaced by embarrassed laughter from everyone present. Turns out it was just an overzealous cleaning robot named Clive, who thought it was his shift to patrol the hallways.
4. A young woman walked into Cloudbreak Optics, holding her newborn baby close. The baby yawned and stretched, then suddenly sat upright in her arms, staring intently at the display of frames. The baby’s eyes widened as if seeing something magical behind the frames. ‘What do you see, little one?’ asked the optician gently. Suddenly, the infant reached out with tiny fingers towards a pair of vintage glasses, giggling softly. The mother laughed, shaking her head—until she noticed that every other customer in the shop was also smiling at the same exact moment.’
