Submitted to Contest #57

The metallic pot had been sitting on a small portable heater all afternoon. It’s coffee toasted, roasted, and then crisped some more. A forgotten token from the day’s events.

He had no clock in his bedroom so until he could find it and charge the phone, he would not know exactly how late it was. It didn’t matter though. Over the last few weeks, Kai’s body had required less and less sleep. Actually, he couldn’t remember the last time that he had slept. And he felt fine.
