Waffles For Esther

Your shift has just started.

You are a waitress trying to deliver a hot plate of freshly made waffles to your favorite regular: Esther. These are her everyday waffles she gets with her everyday order:

• A coffee - one sugar, a splash of milk
• Waffles with two strawberries, sliced, with apple jam syrup on the side
• Later she’ll get a plate of hash browns, extra ketchup to finish it all up

But as you return with Esther’s waffles, she is nowhere to be found. She’s your favorite regular, and so you take it upon yourself to find out where she’s gone.

Did she pop out for a quick errand?

Is there an insidious plot underway?
