Catastrophe Books
From doktorsleepless
Catastrophe Books was founded five years ago by John Reinhardt and Sing Watson as a source for alternative culture. Reinhardt bought the building and provided a standing fund for utilities and other bills, and Watson, whose vision the store was, is the legal owner.
Today, Watson is the sole proprietor. A fraction of the original fund remains, and Watson pays the bills and draws a wage from the store's thin profits in order to keep that fraction as a buffer.
Catastrophe Books serves today as both bookstore and a focal point for what remains of alternative culture in Heavenside. It and its attached coffee shop are a meeting point and salon of sorts, although a pale echo of what the place was five years ago.
Sing Watson found a box of grey masks located by the entrance. She took one to her friend, Celia at Heavenside General Hospital, who is suffering from St. Teresa's Eyes. Celia "liked" the mask.
Located between a cafe (named Coffee House) and a park or public open space. It could also be the grounds of a building set away from the street. The street appears to be one way (from issue 2).
After 69 days since the first appearance of Doktor Sleepless in Heavenside, Catastrophe Books has once again become the focal point for grinder activity in the community. Many people are drawn there, looking for a copy of the Darkening Sky.
(What street is it located on? Who have you seen there?)

Notes
Expecting an order of Mayita Fuentes books.
Sing receives a case of books by the title The Darkening Sky by Henrik Boemer; she did not place an order for these books. She does recall that it was a book that John Reinhardt was fascinated with. The books had been reprinted by Doktor Sleepless, with the address 1 Scartop Mountain.
