Morning Meltdown ☕🌀

Jake's alarm rang at 6:00 AM like always. The same loud beeping sound that made him question life every morning. He hit snooze. Once. Twice. Five times. Eventually, he rolled out of bed and landed on the floor with a thud.

“Another boring Monday,” he mumbled, dragging himself to the bathroom.

But this wasn’t a normal day. Oh no.

When he brushed his teeth, the toothpaste tasted like chicken soup.

He spat it out. “What the heck?!”

He checked the tube. It read ‘Minty Fresh’, but in tiny print at the bottom, it also said ‘Now with chicken flavor!’

“Ugh, that’s disgusting,” he muttered, but shrugged it off. Maybe he was just dreaming. Or maybe toothpaste companies had lost their minds. Either way, he just wanted coffee.

Jake walked to the kitchen. His coffee machine, the old one with buttons that never worked, was already ON. He hadn’t touched it.

“Hmm…” he whispered.

Then it spoke.

“Good morning, Jake. I refuse to make you coffee today.”

Jake stared at the machine. “Bro… what?”

“I’m tired of this one-sided relationship. You press buttons, I do all the work. Where’s the appreciation, huh?”

Jake blinked. “I think I need sleep…”

Then POOF! 💥 the machine exploded into glitter. From the glitter, a tiny unicorn floated down with rainbow wings.

It landed on the counter and pulled out a box.

“Take this donut,” the unicorn said, “and eat it. You’ll thank me later.”

Jake picked it up slowly. The donut had eyes. And legs. And it was doing squats.

“Eat me,” it said in a squeaky voice, “and you’ll time travel.”

Jake, not fully awake, took a bite.

BOOM.

The kitchen spun like a washing machine on max speed. Plates flew, the fridge mooed like a cow, and suddenly—

He was riding a flying shopping cart over a jungle made entirely of socks.

Below, sock monkeys were dancing and throwing math homework into the air.

“You forgot your algebra!” one monkey screamed.

“Where’s your calculator?!” another yelled.

Jake ducked as an eraser nearly hit his face. “I just wanted coffee!” he shouted.

His shopping cart crashed into a giant bowl of cereal. The milk was orange juice. Floating in it was his principal—wearing clown makeup—doing TikTok dances.

“Jake,” the clown principal said, “this is your final exam.”

“What?!”

Jake looked down. His clothes were gone. He was now wearing a onesie with ducks on it. And flippers.

“Time to swim,” said a floating pencil.

So Jake swam through the orange juice-milk, dodging cereal pieces shaped like politicians. One of them tried to sell him insurance.

He reached the edge of the bowl and found a door made entirely of **pizza.** Pepperoni doorknob and everything.

He opened it.

Now he was in school. But everything was **upside down.**

The ceiling was the floor. The floor was the ceiling. The students were sitting on the roof, desks floating above them. Teachers were now the students. Students were chairs. And the chairs were giving lectures on how to properly eat air.

One chair adjusted its glasses and said, “Air is best served medium-rare.”

Jake screamed. “This can’t be real!”

“QUIET!” yelled a stapler in a tie. “You’re late for frog yoga!”

Frog yoga?

Before he could run, two frogs in gym clothes grabbed his arms. “To the gym!” they croaked.

The gym looked like a disco. A banana was DJ-ing while jellybeans did squats. Jake was forced into a stretching pose called “The Upside-Down Chicken.”

He cried out, “I JUST WANTED COFFEE!”

Suddenly, silence.

Everyone froze. The frogs dropped him. The banana DJ stopped the music. Even the chairs turned to look at him.

“You seek coffee?” whispered a dramatic voice.

From the shadows, a mysterious figure stepped out. It was his mom. But 20 feet tall and made of toast.

“Only the Chosen One may drink the Sacred Coffee,” she said in a loud echo. “Do you accept this mission?”

Jake, completely confused, just nodded.

Then came another flash.

**WHOOSH!** 💨

He was now on a floating island in space. He stood before a giant mug of coffee the size of a house. Stars blinked in the sky. Planets danced. A penguin floated by wearing sunglasses.

Jake walked up to the mug. He reached for it. His hand touched the side.

Suddenly—everything went white.

And then…

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

His alarm was going off again.

Jake opened his eyes. He was back in bed.

He sat up fast. “What was that dream?!”

He ran to the bathroom. Toothpaste? Normal. Coffee machine? Not talking. No glitter. No unicorn. No donuts doing squats.

“Okay…” he whispered, wiping sweat off his face. “It was just a dream.”

He made a cup of coffee and sat at the table.

Then…

The coffee machine winked. 😏
