The Hollow Mile.
They say it's only a mile long — the stretch of deserted highway between the collapsed highway bridge and the ruined tunnel that no longer goes anywhere. The mile that doesn't appear on any newer map. No matter how quickly you drive your car as soon as possible, or walk as far as possible, you always take exactly one hour to pass through.

The kind of place where you walk in and feel you should be reading Dostoevsky while spending the equivalent of your phone bill. Either way, I’m standing in line pretending to be one of them, not knowing that I’m seconds away from a decision that will change my life indefinitely — fine, at least my morning. I arrive at the counter and the barista, clearly someone who’s had more training in coffee than I will ever receive in anything for the rest of my life, looks up at me, “What can I get for you today?”

Somewhere far away in New York City, among skyscrapers that went all the way up to the heavens and brushed against it with their tips, there existed a small bookstore. It was a faraway place, out of sight from the world, and near bookworms and lost souls. Used books and the smell of hot coffee filled it, a cozy scent that froze time itself in mid-air.
