Maria & OTA
Another week, another bonfire. Maria came to them even though she'd stopped telling stories from home. It was fascinating to listen to the others whether they were singing, sharing tales or just talking among each other. Situations like this told you a lot about people, and it gave her an idea of how things were progressing here.
This week she came with coffee. Blessed, marvelous coffee! It was in a hollowed out coconut shell that retained just enough of its taste to give the coffee a slightly sweet taste. Maria wasn't fond of coconut but it would take a lot to keep her from enjoying this beautiful, wonderful cup of joe. As she sat off to the side she might even have something of a blissed look on her face as she sipped the caffeinated goodness.
