	The dark sky became light and at some point, today
	became yesterday and tomorrow, today.  The café
	refilled itself with people and the waitress from the
	night before refilled his coffee cup.
 
	"Cream?" she asked, somehow looking past him.  It
	seemed that customer service hadn't been high on
	her to-do list when preparing for her job.
 
	"No, I-" she walked away, perhaps eager to serve
	customers who took cream in their coffee, as they
	should, "-drink it black," he finished anyway.
 
	He'd successfully caused almost a full day to pass
	around him without actually experiencing anything.
	He'd have to try harder.
 
	Looking at the waitress- now brewing a fresh pot of
	coffee- he saw a target.
 
	Reality warped, and a new narrative was born.
 
 *      *      *
	Chantal hit the brew switch on the coffee maker and
	turned to go check on her orders.  She made it
	halfway to the kitchen door when it hit her.
	Suddenly, he knees had turned to rubber and she
	had to grab the counter for support.  Panicking, she
	looked up to see if anyone had noticed, but the
	customers seemed not to notice.
 
	"Bathroom," she thought, and tried to move
	inconspicuously as fast as she could to the safe
	place.  She quickly closed the bathroom door and,
	leaning against it, her hand dropped to her crotch.
	Why was she feeling like this?  It was as though
	she'd just been having the best sex of her life but
	had stopped just before reaching an orgasm.
 
	Massaging her lips through her pants wasn't enough
	to satisfy her, she needed to get off.  What the hell
	was going on?  One part of her mind was outraged
	that this was happening, and at work of all places.
	Meanwhile, another part decided that she might as
	well drop her pants and have a seat, since she was in
	the bathroom anyway.
 
	The instant she felt her cool finger on her bare
	pussy, the rational part of her mind gave up.  The
	feelings were more intense than she'd ever known.
	A second hand joined the first and she slid two
	fingers into her wet snatch while using the other to
	tickle her clit.
 
	She was, of course, no stranger to masturbation, but
	she'd never had sensations like this.  Pure lust
	gripped her entire body, and her muscled twitched
	involuntarily as she half-sat on the toilet.
 
	Wishing she had more hands, Chantal abandoned
	her clit to knead her breasts through her work shirt.
	As her passion climbed, she pulled up her shirt and
	bra in one movement and rubbed her nipples.
 
	It just kept building and building; as if there was no
	end to the heights of pleasure she could reach.  She
	felt herself teetering on the edge of consciousness,
	afraid she might faint and miss out on what
	promised to be the best orgasm of her life.
 
	Just when she thought she could take no more,
	Chantal came.
 
	Her breath caught in her throat.  All the muscles in
	her body clenched as one.  Her eyes rolled back into
	her head.  She jammed her fingers so deep inside
	herself that later she'd swear she felt her cervix.
	Her hand gripped her tit so tightly the bruise would
	take a week to heal.
 
	And it was all worth it.
 
	For a moment, time stopped, and then, to make up
	for its indiscretion, exploded in her mind like a
	supernova. It sent little explosions all throughout
	her body.  Then her breath came back in gasps, her
	abdomen started contracting as if in childbirth.  She
	could feel her toenails tingling and there was a loud
	ringing in her ears.
 
	They say all good things must end, and like all your
	quarters on the last mission of an arcade game, her
	energy was spent.  The fatigue began to creep in,
	soothing her high into a graceful decent into a bed
	of pure satisfaction.
 
	She sat on the toilet a few more minutes before
	reluctantly returning to reality.
 
	Panic gripped her once more as she realized what
	she had just done.  Did she make any sounds?  She
	couldn't be sure, but she was terrified that someone
	outside would've heard her if he had.  She quickly
	appraised the situation inside her bathroom.  It still
	smelled like a normal bathroom.  The toilet seat was
	wet with her cum, but a wad of toilet paper or two
	would fix that right up.
 
	She looked at herself in the mirror.  Her clothing
	was in complete disarray, and her hair had
	somehow taken on a life of its own.  With a tiny bit
	of horror she realized that her pants were still
	around her ankles and quickly pulled them up,
	tucking in her shirt.
 
	With a bit of water, she fixed her hair the best she
	could and decided that she was about as presentable
	as she was going to get.
 
	Just then some new feelings came over her.
 
	Back in high school, she used to be on the track and
	field team, and had had the opportunity to run a few
	very long races.  Her body felt now the same as it
	did then.  Fatigue burnt in her arms and legs.  Her
	stomach felt as though she'd just done a thousand
	sit-ups.  There were a few unusually sharper pains
	on the inside of her mouth, and one of her tits.  And
	beneath it all there was a dull, but insistent throb
	somewhere deep inside her.
 
	"Ok, the story is: you're feeling sick and you just
	puked.  Maybe you can get the evening off," she
	whispered at her flushed reflection in the mirror.
 
	With nothing left for her to do in here, she deftly
	brought her apprehension under control and set her
	face in what she hoped was a determined, but ill,
	visage.
 
	She opened the bathroom door and walked out to
	face the music, as it were.
 
 *      *      *
	He didn't really care too much about his room-
	temperature coffee now.  He had switched seats at
	his table so he could see down the short hallway to
	the bathrooms.
 
	As if on cue, the waitress emerged, face a bit
	flushed and looking a lot more tired.
 
	He couldn't help but smile.  It's not that he wanted
	to make her feel any worse, he just found it terribly
	erotic to think that she just fingered herself to the
	best orgasm of her life, right there in the bathroom.
 
	For a second their eyes met as she came down the
	hallway to the counter, but she looked away
	immediately.  It seemed to him that that was the
	first time she'd really seen him at all, despite the
	fact that he hadn't moved from his table in almost
	24 hours.
 
	She went straight to the kitchen, where she would
	recite her impromptu soliloquy on how sick she
	suddenly felt.
 
	He felt a bit guilty that he knew much more about
	her than she of him, and figured maybe he'd invite
	her somewhere for a chat.
 
	Coming out of the kitchen, her coat on and glad to
	be leaving, Chantal walked to the door, glancing at
	him briefly with a bit of a worried expression.
 
	"Now or never," he thought.
 
	He headed for the door after her.
 
	She welcomed the fresh, cool air outside but her
	relief was cut short when she noticed that he'd
	followed her.
 
	She could run, maybe, she could use her keys as a
	weapon.  She could just scream.
 
	"Hi Chantal," he said in an easy voice.
 
	"Uh," she cleverly replied.
 
	"Hey, I'm not trying to freak you out or anything, I
	just wanted to know if you wanted to go talk
	somewhere or something," he said, wishing he'd
	sounded more confident.
 
	"Uh," she reiterated, and after some quick thought,
	"how do you know my name?"  She looked at him
	accusingly.
 
	Now it was his turn to say, "uh," as his eyes move
	to the nametag, still visible beneath her open coat.
 
	Suddenly she felt ridiculous for being so paranoid.
	This was just a normal guy.  There was no reason to
	feel nervous or anything, he was just hitting on her.
	Just as she was about to shoot him down, something
	caught her attention.  Maybe it was the peaceful
	expression on his face, or way he was standing, but
	she found herself tempted to accept his offer, and
	even to invite him to her own apartment.
 
	"Do you need a ride?" he asked, non-threateningly.
	He began moving to the street where a cute, sliver,
	two-seater was parked and pulled out a key.  The
	car alarm made a strangled little noise protesting its
	disarmament.
 
	"Ok," she finally conceded.  At least with a car like
	that he's not some bum off the streets who's going
	to want to start living in my apartment.
 
	Chantal and her new friend got into the new-
	smelling sports car and drove toward her place.  She
	made a point of giving him directions, so she could
	convince herself that he wasn't some stalker that
	knew where she lived.
 
	He didn't say anything on the way there, but wore a
	curious smile.  Somewhere in her mind, a tiny voice
	thought something was wrong, but with nothing to
	back it up, she ignored it.
