Caffeine

The door to McNulty's Teas and Coffees opened. The distinct smell of mold, musty tea, and coffee beans hit the mix of fresh air flowing in from behind me. I looked around at the boxes and boxes of teas and large glass containers with labels reading LAPSONG OOLONG and GREEN GUNPOWDER in old typeset. Diced, dried fruit in a large glass canister, and saw the strange reflection in red of a tea box behind it. Minutes passed. Lots of minutes as I stared at that glass with its colour. The strange manipulation of the light and the colour made me realize how much love made me miss out.
