The routine of John’s day was precise. He woke at seven and walked to the Tim Horton’s by his apartment. It was Roll-up-the-rim- season after all. He’d managed to get his coffee double-cupped with another playable cup and was feeling plenty smug. He read the paper for a half hour while sitting in the uncomfortable plastic chairs, his double-double to the right of the napkin dispenser by five inches. He flipped the continuation of the front page story: a series of tourists murdered in London. All found shot,but every single bullet missing from the scene. No evidence of a through and through, no sign of a gang-hit, and all victims from Calgary. John shook his head, flipping the paper closed. He did not recognize any of the faces the paper had printed, but the killings still hit close to home. After draining the paper cup, he used his teeth to unroll the paper lid bit by bit. Instead of a please play again the message read there’s a black car outside John glanced outside and sure enough, a black car idled in the lot. could be

BWAHAHAHA I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MANAGED TO INCORPORATE ROLL-UP-THE RIM I'M LAUGHING BUT I WANT TO CRY A LITTLE. AND OMG MYCROFT LEAVING MESSAGES IN TIM HORTON'S CUPS, OF COURSE! I think next time I get a drink from there I'm going to have an odd smile plastered on my face.
WHAA GUYS why are you all so awesome? I would reply to all your great responses but...it feels weird to be like "author!anon here, what's the haps?" But thank you all for reading, you're all brilliant. And yes, nothing is holy to Mycroft, just imagine: all your French Vanillas, your Double-Doubles, your Hot Chocolates and plain Coffee's two creams, one sugar - all of them belong to Mycroft Holmes. And he will mess you up. And you, well you won't get a chance to Play Again. I also just realised this story has no name. Thoughts? Double-Double-tap? Of Sociopaths and Social Networks? Who knows
