'Coffee Choice' : A 75-word story



Wiltshire lay behind him. As the wheels purred lightly, it receded reluctantly, and he yawned.

Tired already, so soon in ? Well, keep on - an espresso in 14 miles.

Yet what Coffee Choice served had scant cuore, no crema - a true, sugary graveyard ! Jo and Manvers Street had spoiled him...

He drove quickly. On the roundabout, he took his exit, accelerated on the slip-road, cruised.

As Swindon loomed, he knew leaving could be put off forever.




Unless stated otherwise, all films reviewed were screened at Festival Central (Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge)
