Next to the E-Sea is a popular local coffee shop, Cosmic Coffee, known for its varied and unusual flavors, and a several office buildings. Across the street lies Liberty Park, whose grounds are covered in a carpet of fallen leaves.The temperature is unusually cold for late autumn, and the strong wind puts the windchill into the thirties. The sky is a featureless light gray, and daylight already begins to fade.Perhaps the cold weather causes the E-Sea to be nearly deserted today. In contrast to the long, winding lines usually seen at the bank, only a dozen or so customers are present. The four bank tellers glance anxiously at the clock from time to time, awaiting closing time, while an elderly, overweight security guard sips a banana-coconut mocha from Cosmic Coffee as he leans against the beige walls, within easy reach of the alarm system.Across the street is parked a green 98 Accord, and the ground underneath his window is littered with ash from dozens of cigarette butts, now swept away by the blowing wind. He speaks into his celluar as an unmarked, windowless white van turns the corner.</blockquote>
