Senses

This was one of the writer’s favourite places.

He was sitting in the back corner of the café, watching both the people passing back and forth along the street outside and the customers coming in, sitting, and then leaving. On this particular day he was musing on the human senses when he saw the woman struggling with a pusher, getting it over the step, as she entered. She ordered a coffee. He couldn’t help noticing a quick exchange between the man operating the coffee machine and the woman. It was one of some sort of secret familiarity. It was then that he saw the jagged scar that ran down the side of the man’s neck. She made her way to a table, awkwardly navigating the pusher as she went. Passing his own table, he glimpsed a faint white line across her finger, where a ring had been. He noted that the man making coffees was watching her every move.

He sat listening to the sounds of the barista machine making its hissing and gurgling sounds as more drinks were prepared, together with the intermittent cries of the child in the stroller. Outside, street noises continued in the background. He touched the side of his cup; it was still nice and hot. As he lifted it, he smelt the beautiful aroma of the cappuccino. The taste of it had always been his favourite.

As he drank, his sixth sense told him that today was going to be a productive day at the keyboard.
