The Magic Bean — Rebecca M. Senese

After a bland life, an inheritance affords George the chance to open his dream coffee shop. He even finds the perfect spot: a small, rundown shop.

To save time and money, George does the work himself and soon finds it isn't as hard as he thought. Every day the shop looks cleaner, feels newer. Flaws melt away.

But every night strange images haunt his dreams.

Is George's wish to run a coffee shop a dream or a nightmare?
