Coffee fix

You never know when there will be a moment that changes your life forever. If we did, we would probably try our best to avoid those few moments.

I stayed up way too late last night, binging a TV show. I needed a caffeine boost to help wake myself up.

All I wanted was a simple cup of coffee and then, the sky fell.

The explosion was deafening. Brick and mortar rained down from above. The shockwave was enough to knock me off my feet as I tried to cover my head.

When I woke up in the hospital, I was told that the explosion was from the top of the apartment building. There had been a gas leak.

I looked down to the space my leg should be occupying, but was flat. A chunk of wall had crushed my calf beyond possible repair.

I only had wanted some coffee.
