Summary
I can feel myself falling in slow motion, and my first instinct is to hold my coffee a little higher. I think it would've worked-- that I would've tumbled onto the floor with a loud smack and felt the concrete against my face, but my coffee would've been victoriously above my head, only a few drops of the hot liquid jumping from the lid. I, however, have zero proof that this is true, because before I could hit the floor, some guy in line behind me had to reach out and grab my arm.
It keeps me from falling, but it causes the coffee to slip from my hands and hit the ground instead. It explodes, or if I'm being less dramatic, splashes. When I look up at the man, I see he's wearing a sweater vest, which I'm realizing has a splattering of coffee across it from the initial trip of my shoe laces.
"Are you alright?"
"No." I stare at the mess on the floor.
There are more questions behind his stare at me, and I can see how they buffer on his lips, but he doesn't say anything before I do.
"My coffee is gone."
