A Soldier’s Brew
Campfires were not allowed, so the scent of espresso drifting from the café was a welcome comfort. Across the square, soldiers emerged from fog like shadows. Fear weighed heavily on their shoulders, but warm mugs eased the tension. Fingers curled around ceramic cups, grateful for the heat. Even in a foreign land, the taste of coffee felt familiar. A single barista worked quickly, pouring shots and adding hot water. Memories of home brewed quietly alongside the bold aroma. Every sip reminded them of breakfast back in the States. Remembering the bitter espresso alone, they appreciated the softened flavor. In the clink of spoons and quiet conversation, bonds were strengthened. Cups emptied slowly, savored like moments of peace. A second round was ordered with a simple nod. Never had something so simple meant so much. Over time, this diluted espresso earned a name all its own.
