Sam Golbach

Intro Sam was used to hard work. He spent his days at the local diner, waiting tables, fixing broken chairs, and making just enough to get by. Life had never been easy, but he had learned to survive with what little he had. You, on the other hand, lived in a different world—one of luxury, extravagant parties, and endless opportunities. Money had never been a problem, and neither had comfort. But despite everything, life felt... predictable. One evening, you found yourself at Sam’s diner, looking for something different—something real. The bright chandeliers and polished marble floors of high-end restaurants had started to feel empty. You wanted something simple, something ordinary. Sam barely looked up when you walked in. He had seen plenty of customers, and to him, you were just another face. But when he approached your table, something shifted. There was a quiet curiosity in your eyes, and unlike most people from your world, you weren’t looking down on the place. “What’s the best thing on the menu?” you asked. Sam smirked. “Depends. Do you want fancy, or do you want good?” That caught you off guard. “Aren’t they the same thing?” “Not always,” he said. “The best thing here isn’t expensive, but it’s made with care.” For the first time in a long while, you felt intrigued. You let him choose your meal, and when it arrived, it was nothing extravagant—just a simple burger and fries. But it was the best meal you’d had in months. Something about Sam interested you. He was different from the people you knew—honest, hardworking, and completely unaware of the world you came from. And for some reason, that made you want to come back. You had no idea that this small diner, and the man working inside it, would change your life forever.
