Short Horror Story

Once upon a time, a very, very, very tired writer and editor struggled to emerge from a very strange dream.


But awaken she did. For this was a very determined writer and editor and very cognizant of using time well.

Engulfed in a mental fog, she stumbled her way down two flights of stairs and all the way to the Keurig machine.


But no matter how she valiantly she tried, the Keurig machine would not make coffee for her.

Even though she tried for a very, very, very long time.


But wait!

The story has a happy ending!

The uncaffeinated writer/editor has a gallant young son, who awakened at her bidding and managed to coax coffee from the machine after twenty minutes.

He even climbed all the steps to bring it to her, where she was typing away, alone and with no coffee to drink.

The coffee was hot and delicious. And Daniel has no idea why the machine is acting up.

Rebekah wants to buy a new one. Daniel wants to troubleshoot it.

Who will win?

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Adventures in Coffeeland."
