Coffee Stains

She lazily stood up from the rolling chair and decided to reward herself with a cup of coffee.

While turning the doorknob with her right hand, she gave the bridge of her nose a little squeeze with her left hand. She steps out of her room, walks in the dark and just before she reached the end of the hallway, her left hand crept over the wall, feeling, trying to find the light switch in the dining room.

She walks past the dining table and reaches the kitchen counter. She grabs a mug which hung from one of those nails that poked out of the wall, pulls out an instant 3-in-1 coffee packet from the pantry, then proceeds to fill her mug up with water. She pops open the microwave and puts it inside. She then presses the buttons 3, 0, and "instant cook". Just like that, the little machine roars to life, doing its job to warm up the water.

While waiting, she rests her elbows on the kitchen counter while her hands were playing with the coffee packet. Feeling the powdery contents from outside, she grabs a pair of scissors beside the tissue holder to her right and cuts a little triangle at the top right corner of the packet.

Just in time.

The microwave beeps twice and it startles her a bit. She opens it, grabs the mug and pours the contents of the coffee packet into the just-warmed-up water. It quickly sinks and dissolves. The water turns into a pale brown color as she reaches for a teaspoon from the drawer to her left and then she stirs it until it's properly mixed. She smells the sweet aroma rising from her mug.

She places the teaspoon inside the sink and proceeds to her room with her cup of coffee.

While life was giving her nothing to get excited about, she goes back to her lazy scrolling in Facebook, hopelessly waiting for new posts to pop up.

Completely enjoying her coffee, she didn't realize it was almost finished.

She then noticed coffee stains on her pure white desk and it gave her an idea.

She decided to write a blog about how it got there.
