Brewing Suspicion

Episode 5 of The Common Man Chronicles, “Brewing Suspicion,” kicks the resistance into gear. The town’s once-rich aroma has been replaced by the stench of stale air and cardboard—lifeless streets lined with shuttered cafés and sleepy eyes. But The Common Man, Boogie Monster, and Plain Jane aren’t ready to give up the grind just yet.

Over steaming mugs inside the bakery, a plan brews: swap the bad beans, wake up the town—one cup at a time. But when Boogie’s clumsy paws crash through a stack of diner dishes mid-mission, the operation nearly unravels. A quick getaway lands them in the bakery van, coffee secured… for now.

Meanwhile, Fancy Pants takes a closer look—literally. His magnifying glass reveals something chilling: these beans weren’t just decaffeinated… they were tampered with. Modified. Engineered.

Something deeper is brewing in this town. And it’s only getting darker from here.

Next week, the sabotage trail leads to someone in a lab coat… and a vendetta. Don’t miss Episode 6.
