It started like any ordinary day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the coffee was brewing.
But little did we know, this was no ordinary coffee.
As I reached for the creamer, I felt a sudden chill run down my spine. The coffee, it seemed, had come to life.
It began to speak to me in a voice that sent shivers down my spine. "You'll never have a good cup of joe again," it cackled.
I tried to flee, but it had already taken on a life of its own.
It began to chase me down, its steaming hot brew dripping with menace.
I had to use every trick in the book to outsmart the sentient coffee.
I hid under the bed, but it followed me there.
I tried to reason with it, but it would not be swayed.
As I sat there, paralyzed with fear, it began to tell me a story.
"You see, I've been watching you, and I know all your darkest secrets."
I tried to deny it, but it had seen it all.
"The time you ate the last of the good cookies," it whispered, "The time you forgot your own birthday, the time you wore that ridiculous sweater."
I was undone. I had never felt such terror before.
And then, just as suddenly as it began, the coffee stopped talking.
I slowly emerged from under the bed, and to my surprise, it was gone.
Or so I thought.
I looked around, and there it was, sitting in the corner, a wicked grin on its face.
As I turned to flee, I heard its parting words.
"You'll never be able to sleep again," it cackled, before disappearing into the night.
I've never been the same since.
