Here is my interpretation. I hope you like it.

Present by John W. Howell © 2014

“So where are we?”

“We are right here. What is the matter with you?”

“Where is here? Are we in the present or the past?”

“What the hell are you talking about? We are sitting in this Starbucks drinking frightfully expensive coffees supposedly living it up.”

“I just had a flash I have been here before.’

“Yeah, we all get those. It is called Deja vu. Means a sense you have been here before.”

“Well, I have.”

“Have what?”

“Been here before. Just last week I had a pumpkin latte right here.”

“I thought you said you had a flash.”

“I did. I think it was the caffeine.”

“So what kind of present are you getting what’s her name?”

“Can we go back to Déjà vu again? I think you already asked me that sometime.”

“I did about twenty minutes ago and you never answered me.”

“That’s cause I haven’t thought of anything yet.”

“Makes sense.”

“What?”

“Why you didn’t answer.”

“Answer what?”

“Just kill me.”

    XD That’s hilarious ! The last one made me laugh out loud. ( at 6 AM ) It made my day. And so early in the day, too. ⭐

      There is a turn on snow button in settings. You can set it to come on Dec 1 and off on the 1st of Jan. 🙂

    I love how you used Starbucks in a story about deja vu. It’s so appropriate. Genius, really.
