Uncaffeinated


She sighed, shooting a glare at the coffee machine. It was teasing her with its meticulous silver sheen; however no coffee was to be made that morning. Sighing again in frustration, the receptionist rubbed her temples, a sure sign of an oncoming migraine.

Her day passed by like a movie montage, people coming and going, papers signed, phones ringing. It sped up and slowed down constantly and became a giant technicolour blur.

Checking the clock for the millionth time that day, a realisation came to her. Making her way to the coffee machine, she pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes, exasperated. No one had switched it on.
