The rain splattered down in big plops
on the sidewalk as I rushed across the street. I tugged my collar
closed hoping to block the chill out. 'When will this rain stop.' I
muttered yanking the coffee shop door open and stepping into the
warmth. I walked to my usual spot putting my bags on a chair before
taking my damp sweatshirt off and draping it over the back of the
chair. I paid for my water and made small talk with the girl behind
the counter. 'They are always so cheerful here.' I thought walking
back to my chair. It's nice to be greeted on such a chilly, blah day
with a smile and a friendly word. I sat down, cracked open my water
and took a long drink. Tightening the cap I set the water back on
the chair and pulled out my laptop. Within a few moments it was up,
running and ready to go. I looked at the blank page with my fingers
hovering over the keys. I stared for several minutes. Nothing. I
sat back, took another sip and replaced the cap again. Setting the
bottle down I leaned forward and placed my fingers on the keys.
And......nothing.
