The Old Café

By Abdel Hamid Attia

Description

Munir Al-Qadi, a postman retired after thirty-five years of work, returns to his old neighbourhood and finds the Old Café open — though it closed twenty-five years ago. Inside, a pile of letters he carried and never delivered to their owners, silent customers waiting for a quarter of a century, and a letter written in his own handwriting, warning him: Do not drink the coffee. And when he drinks the coffee, he sees the life he did not live, and when he looks at the old man behind the counter, he discovers he is looking at himself, thirty years later. A complete horror and thriller story in 10 chapters, with a twist ending you will never expect.

A café that closed twenty-five years ago — yet its door still opens every evening, for whoever carries a letter that never arrived.
