Mary quickly got to the first coffee shop. She hopped off her bike and ran towards it. It was just opening, which gave her a bit of hope. If she could at least find a few coffee bags— even just one— it could keep her going for a while longer until she could get a steady supply again.
—"Sorry, do you have any coffee left?" Mary asked the shop owner. She knew she had limited time, so she went straight to the question.
—"Well, mornin' to you too Ma'am!" Said the fat man, in a laugh. This irritated Mary a bit—she didn't want to be rude, but she didn't have time for this. The last cup of coffee in the country could be being sold right that moment to someone else. What would she do without her coffee? Her life would be meaningless.
—"Morning, do you have ANY coffee left?" She asked, trying to keep a polite, but clear tone.
—"Nope! Sorry Ma'am, last coffee I served must've been— well— a' least a month ago..."
By the time the man got to finish his sentence, Mary was already away on her bike, following the map to the next coffee shop. She was devastated.
