Somewhere Between Here and There: Sliding Crepes

Apr 23, 2026

One afternoon, Aaron and his wife Cori drive to their favorite café… and it’s gone. No sign. No trace. Just a completely different place where it used to be.

But days later, they return and everything has changed again. The café is back. The sign is there. As if nothing ever happened.

This is a true story about a moment that didn’t make sense, a shared memory Aaron and Cori can’t explain, and the unsettling possibility that, for a brief second, they may have slipped into another version of their lives.
