Scrumptious Surprise III Alternate Ending
He then told me that he had taken the liberty to make my cup of coffee. He pulled out a cup from underneath the table and placed it in front of me with a crooked smile. Samuel told me that he had made the coffee while I was in the other room. Looking down I saw nothing but plain black coffee. There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary about it except for the, oh-oh yes those are Venezuelan beans, the most delicious in the entire world. I could never forget that scent after I stowed away in a barrel half full of coffee beans smuggling myself out of South America and into the US. I spent twelve hours in total euphoria. All I had with me was a bladder of water and three stolen kudos bars. It was a shame I had to dump out half of the barrel just to fit, but I saved as many beans as I could by leaving myself with only enough space to breathe. I asked Samuel where he could possibly have found beans as pure as the ones he had used in my coffee. He told me that I deserved only the best, and that after all I was the best friend he had ever had. It felt like I had just robbed my grandmother’s house for money, there was so much guilt lingering above me. In fact it feels worse then robbing my grandmother’s house for money because I did that once. I was absolutely desperate in those days. I was living on the street, making money off of people’s empathy for me. I knew I had to do something or else my hole that I had dug myself into would become my ultimate grave. I decided that I had to turn to theft to make my living, but I didn’t have enough courage to do anything radical like a pharmacy or anything of that caliber. No with my physical state all I could manage was a retirement home. But I decided not to do that because there are usually lots of those old people there, and they could have outnumbered me 200 to 1. That would have turned ugly real fast, and I didn’t want anything to go wrong. So with my options drifting away I realized that the only robbery that I could possibly manage was my grandmother’s house. I thought that since she hated me it wouldn’t make much difference, but I was wrong. She ended up going bankrupt because of me. That was when I really started to feel the agony. So that is how bad that moment at the dinner table with Samuel felt. Samuel had requested a tissue, so I obliged and took off to the bathroom to retrieve one. When I handed it to him he had an unusual glare that made me feel uncomfortable, but I could’nt show this in fear of him seeing that I had future aspirations for his life on earth. Trying to not to stare into his eyes I took a sip of the coffee he had given me. Setting it down I tasted something that clearly was not coffee in my mouth. My eyes opened wide as I noticed the cup that I gave to Samuel was now sitting before me. A small drop of green liquid trickled down my chin as I fell back in my chair, dead.
Samuel smiled wickedly and sipped his coffee. He got up from his chair and set his cup down on the table. Samuel picked up the news paper laying on the lacquered mahogany countertop, and walked outside to the beautiful autumn evening. He stoped suddenly as a dog smothered in mud ran by. He had finally accomplished what he had been planning to do for years now.
