Coffee and an epiphany-

(Kishan Ballurkar)
(100 word short)

That morning too, Vivaan woke with his prejudiced mind to the bitter aroma of coffee, albeit satisfied. He resolved to disbelief all that the printed word claimed as the state of the world. And while all his fantasies had always been unvoiced, as all of them were built in solitude and in the confines of his being, he had never expected them to mirror those featured on the front page. Sadomasochistic and vulgar, he found himself in the words of the guilty. All men are equal, he realized. All that differed was a conscious choice- to let fantasies be fantasies.
