Somewhere Between Dreaming and Waking. Forever.
As a third shift healthcare worker my nights and days are spent in utter disarray and placid disparity.
At a local truck stop I sought sanctuary and fate led me to the coffee bar. 'Twas then Fate, destiny, or something as insignificant as the churros led me into the presence of a shining Hulk of a man.
This savior in Dickies noticed my hesitation in my coffee preparations, and he proceeded to shift his bulk and lumber toward me.
Shadow eclipsing me and no way around, I regretted not seeking a simple gas station rather than a 24 hr somewhat shady and oft-litigious trucker stop.
The presumed fierce disposition of the bright Behemoth and lack of escape routes both proved irrelevant. The gentle giant only leaned toward me conspiratorially and placed a small object in my hand with a whispered declaration that made no sense in that moment but rings true now and forever:
"This will keep you goin' all night."
Peeling my eyelids away from my eyes as I had them clenched tightly shut, I expected to awaken in eternal Nis and whatever lies Beyond.
Instead I peeked into my hand and saw an unassuming Stōk black coffee shot.
I was introduced to this product in September of 2013 and have not slept since.
I also have felt no pain nor emotion. Thus your own experience shall make you a subjective judge in the efficacy of this coffee shot, which must have been cultivated in Eden itself and fast into the hands of scheming Titans, used to beguile the innocent and desperate.
