I was sipping my espresso one morning on the boat. It was the third one since I had waken up and I was waiting for my friend to come and pick me up. I had no means to get to the land unless he got there. Everything was prepared for me to get off: dishes done, the backpack ready and the portholes closed.
I opened a book, started reading. In the back of my head a high-pitched voice started blabbing about how I would have to stop my reading any minute. Another more hoarse and deep one obsessed over how I should concentrate on the book without listening to the former.
I told myself:
«If only there were stories that would last the time of a coffee break, starting and finishing within that small amount of time, both those voices would shut up!»
That is what Espresso Yourselves is meant to be: a place where to find stories to start your day, to bring you to another universe in five minutes, without the need to fear time.
