A piano was found in a bakery.  
It played only crusts.  
Someone ate the sheet music, claiming it tasted like regret with a hint of rosemary.

The baker swore he hadn’t ordered a piano,  
but admitted he had been dreaming in chords since Tuesday.

In the alley behind the shop,  
a fox was selling time in jars.

A sign above the register read:  
*If you don’t know what you lost, we can’t refund it.*

At closing, the piano baked itself into a cake.  
The lights dimmed with something close to mercy.
