There’s a particular strip-mall nearby that I drive past a few times a week. I’m sure you know the kind too, rather dingy, slightly inconvenient to access, and home to an endless succession of hopeful new businesses that only last a few months each. The rent must be absurdly cheap. Cafes and burger bars seem to be the shortest lived tenants. Restaurants run a close third. Computer repair places seem immune to the curse. For about six months now I’ve been seeing a new sign, plain yellow on black in a bold block font “DEEP GROCERY AND SPICE”. They seem to be sticking around; must be good stuff. I resolve to drop in next time I need Indian spices. Look, it was an easy mistake to make—but it’s not a family name, and the proprietors are from further south than south asia. The girl in the tank behind the counter tells me that Brisbane actually has the second highest Deep One population of any city above sea level. You really must try their spices. #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot
