STORY STARTER
In the semi-darkness, the pebbles looked like coffee beans.
Write a story that starts with this sentence. Think about what kind of character would make this comparison.
Espresso Macchiato, by the way
In the semi-darkness the pebbles look like coffee beans.
And you look like an angel.
Let’s stay, then, in the semi-darkness,
Here, where the sea has the flavor
Of freshly roasted coffee.
Tell me again the most important thing:
Not the fake “love you!” of midsummer,
Not the pretended care of my wounds
-the abandonment wound still hurts,
by the way!-
No, these don’t really matter.
Tell me, most of all, the recipe
For your Espresso Macchiato!
How come, by what marvelous talent, that
It tastes both like passion and betrayal?
Oh, You must be an angel!
Yeah, that was ironic,
by the way.
