THE TENDRILS OF SMOKE disperse into a still cloud above; a flick of amber scatters across the ground as Kay discards his latest cigarette. It was 2:35 when he had last checked his watch and that was some time ago. The thought only crossed his mind as he overheard two men discussing the rush hour traffic as they walked into the cafe behind him. Perhaps he might grab a coffee for the long night ahead of him.
@arachnidbit sent in: ❛ i don’t have much to do today. ❜
The strangers words peaked his interest, if even momentarily. Kay wasn't sure if he was talking to himself or to anyone who was listening. Finally, he turns to face the man beside him ❛ if you are talking to me I don't care how you spend your day ❜ russian drips in his words, he pauses, before nodding his head towards the cafe behind them ❛ but if you can tell me if the two-dollar coffee from this cafe tastes like shit, then much appreciated and I'll be on my way ❜
