the new fangled coffee machine offers much more than coffee. It looks as if it came from the future and proudly stands 3 feet tall on the counter top. It's sleek black plastic front panel reflects an image of it's user. well, not the user as you may know him, but a future version of the user. an aged, paunchy, tired version of the user with a much rounder pumpkin like head.
i want to believe the distorted reflection is a result of the curved plastic panel, sort of like a fun house mirror. i fear that's not the case. the machine came from the future, it reflects the future.
i wonder if there is an older me in the future gazing longingly at a youthful me reflected in a strangly archaic coffee machine.
i have grown to hate this machine. i stand off to the side when using it so not to catch a glimpse of grumpy old man griff. the machine's only mitigating factor is that it makes a wicked good hot chocolate. i assume there was a quantum leap of hot chocolate technology in the 2020's.
