I was sitting in a homey chair with a floral cushion, sipping my freshly brewed coffee. I was just enjoying the floral atmosphere in the cafe when I caught a man hanging his brown coat on a hook when he suddenly looked straight into my eye.
“Hey there! Oh my gosh! Aren’t you uhhhh…. Jack from the blog, Comfort Shared? Oh my God. I cannot believe that I am speaking to you… Wait, I must record this,” the man scrambled over to me and stated quite dramatically.
“Wait what…. I am no Jack. What are you even talking about? Stop filming me,” I said, confused, as if caught off-guard.
“But… your freckles and your scar on your cheek. Why, you seem like a carbon copy of Jack,” the man replied quite emphatically in his exasperating and shrill voice.
The man had now gotten on my nerves and hence I just shrugged and stated, “I do not know who is this Jack that you speak of, but sir, I assure you I am Ethan, not this fellow, Jack. I believe you might have gotten confused.”
The man apologetically shook his head, “I am quite sorry sir. I did not mean to disturb you. But you see, I really love that blog and I must accept I did get carried away.”
“It’s alright. After all, who doesn’t make mistakes?” I said.
The man then walked away, quite sullenly. But for me I had other matters to deal with. My cappuccino had gone cold. What a tragic end to what was supposed to be a pleasant day for a loner like me!
