24 Hour diners are such a great setting for stories. No matter what genre you’re approaching it with this setting is so rich because the recurring characters are the staff, they are the witnesses to the strange, fleeting connections between them and their customers.
The people coming into the diner could be anyone, from anywhere, tired, drunk, lonely, scared. Customers comforted by a veil of anonymity and a warm cup of bad coffee in their hands, feeling the urge to overshare under vaguely flickering fluorescents, while a void of industrial darkness lies just outside.
