Coffee

Pam wakes up in a cold sweat. Thankfully,it was all just another dream.

She's being having those kind of dreams lately and they're starting to get to her.

Getting up she tries to remember what her dream was exactly this time but no matter how hard she thinks she's unable to, like something is blocking her memories, the more she thinks about it the more she forgets.

After a while she gives up, it's just a dream after all, nothing serious,it still weirds her out though, she usually remembers most of her dreams but this time she feels lost, as if she's in a maze, blindfolded trying to find her way out.

Sounds impossible, no?

She gets dressed and makes her way to the kitchen to make breakfast.

When she's done she starts brewing her coffee.

Suddenly a wave of memories washes over her, but some pick her interest more than others.

" Why did I suddenly think of him " she wonders out loud, after all, it's been quite a while since then,she thought she had forgotten all about him, but that was far from the truth.

Remembering exactly how he liked his coffee, he liked everything to be as sweet as possible and his coffee wasn't an exception.

He also preferred adding rum to his coffee, "adds a little kick to it" he used to say, before offering her to try some from his.Yet here she is, pouring sadness into hers.

When she was done, she sat down at the table and started eating her breakfast, she wasn't that hungry anymore, not after all that memory reunion of her's that showed up unannounced.

Finishing her food she puts the plate aside and starred at the coffee aimlessly, losing track of time.

She's suddenly much more upset than she previously was. It's just coffee right? So why does she have so many precious memories related to it?

Sighing, she takes a small sip, it's still warm, not hot though, just the perfect temperature for her. lt calms her down, yet she still feels like she's in bed, having a nightmare of which she'll remember nothing of when she wakes up.

Ignoring it, she continues slowly drinking her coffee.she added so much sugar so why is it so bitter? It's like she was drinking something warm and bitter with no taste,yet somehow comforting, not really how coffee should taste, maybe it's all in her head.

Finishing her sweetly bitter coffee she washes and places the dishes away, when she's done with that she notices a spider on the floor. "how did that thing get in?" she says surprised, that spider was too big to have squeezed in from any cracks, heck, this thing was almost as big as her hand, how could it invade her home without her noticing?

And most importantly, what if lays eggs? even worse,if it has already done so?

Pam never really minded spiders,she liked picking them up when she was little,but this thing is too much even for her.

The thought of it laying eggs in her house makes her wanna burn it down all together with her belongings, one spider is enough,let alone hundreds of those, just the thought sends shivers down her spine.

"Now now, how do we get rid of you?"she says, skeptical, there's no way she's picking that thing up with her hands.

"Well, time to get the broom I guess"
