I Just Work Here: A Cozy Urban Fantasy

He said yes to one invitation. That was the mistake. He still works the night shift at a convenience store in Sinchon. He scans the write-offs at three, feeds the cat out the back door, and answers to no name in particular. Then a guildmaster asks him to sit at one table on one night in September, and he goes, because it would be strange not to. The people at that table survived the same thing he did. One of them is a mother who wants to talk about her son. None of them know they are sitting across from the Man. Now an Association audit opens on a store with nothing to audit. A high school senior gets his rank raised and learns what the raise costs. And in a file nobody has reopened in a year, one name is still marked unreturned. Hiding isn't being unseen. It's being uncounted. He had three years to work that out and got it wrong by exactly one step.
