One more cup of coffee…. I understand the procrastinations. How is can be riding on a person’s back to delay things you want to do and accomplish.

Thankyou Damian

Thank you Fia. Have a great day this day!

Sometimes the pause takes longer than we expect.

There’s a relatable tug-of-war here between wanting to move forward and finding every comfortable excuse to stay exactly where you are, with the sun and clock quietly reminding the speaker that time isn’t waiting. The last “One more cup of coffee” is the perfect little surrender—it undercuts all that determination with the wonderfully human truth that sometimes the first step is just another damn cup of coffee.

Thank you Mr. Case. I think I’ll have another now! Have yourself a wonderful day.

Cleverly penned, Peter. Another excellent write with delicate layers my friend. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Painfully sweet and the hopeful part had me smiling. Excellant

Thanks Damien and Fia for reading and commenting……I do love tomatoes and I’m sure you do also.🍎

There’s a damn clean erotic metaphor here, with the unripe tomato carrying desire in its tension—green, clenched, sun-warmed, and waiting for the moment when restraint finally gives way. The ending lands hard because “hard and hopeful” collapses the whole image back into the speaker, turning ripeness into both longing and surrender.

Well said, and thank YOU, Fia and Sam for all that you do for us. HJx

Thjank you, my friend. Good info.

Hi Fia, eroterite isn’t accessible: the site is showing as not working. Has it been permanently shutdown? If so can my stories be removed, please and could you close down my eroterite profile.
Many Thanks.

That was so poignant. Humans always start wars. What makes this any different.
