Once again I return home to my estate, after a long work week only to discover my beloved caffeinated beverage is gone. The sweet nectar of the gods, the holy water of divine aroma, the liquid pleasure of my life. Completely exhausted of all resources, The half awake panic that ensued there after was something that could be best describe as, a frustrated zombie shuffle through the kitchen pantries and doors. In my frantic panic was the experience not only sobering, but like a high voltage shock to my frontal lobe, I found myself in a awe inspiring sense of clarity, as the last drop of adrenal secretions kicked in, and somewhere deep down in the cockles of my brain matter, kicked up a vivid memory of a long forgotten stash, I crawled desperately up the stairs with the determination of a crazed weasel on all fours. Up I went stopping just short of the ottoman positioned just front of the piano, upturning the damn thing on it side, to reveal a mason jar with a cup worth of the glorious brown beans. Like an egg robber I snatched the jar, clutching it to my chest and posthaste proceeded down the stairs with gallant strides like a majestic velociraptor with a prized kill. My joy was only matched by my excitement as I ground the little brown bastards into a satisfying granulated consistency, and slapped then into the the overly flashy chromed contraption, what seemed like an eternity soon gave way to the heavenly dew as it steamed and vented into my cup, Grabbing it with both hands and savoring the smell, I turned to relish in the moment only to have my sure footed path meet something of a soft fluffy texture, and like a slow motion train wreck the inevitable forces of gravity and inertia, along with the shrill screeching of the feline ninja beneath my feet. the cup of the delectable wonder, slipped from its entrapment, sailing into the air splintering off into droplets of liquid gold, and crashing to the moisture deprived wooden floor below, The silence that processed was almost deafening as I could heard the ever quickening pace of my heart beat, only for the stillness cut short by the soft mew and purr of an affectionate feline, as she brushed softly agent my leg for assurance in a clear display of apology.


...In the end I bought more coffee, and many more cuddles form my adorable feline companion.
