Pump Machine
AN ESPRESSO MACHINE THAT USES A PUMP TO FORCE BREWING WATER
AT HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH A COMPACTED BED OF GROUND COFFEE.
DARBY DUNWELL STOOD BEFORE THE WINDOW OF HER VINTAGE
camper turned coffee truck, staring at her one-night stand, and bargaining
with a God she hadn’t believed in since the tenth grade.
Her official breakup with a higher power occurred when Sister Mary
Mildred broke a paddle over Darby’s ass after she’d stolen from her reform
school’s bake sale proceeds to buy cigarettes off an older co-ed. As it had
been Darby’s mocha-nut cupcakes that brought in the lion’s share of
confectionary proceeds to St. Vincent’s Academy, she’d reasoned that she
was due at least a slim margin of the profits.
Sister Eminem (as Darby had not-so-affectionately called her) hadn’t
shared Darby’s financial assessment.
Still fizzy with her first nicotine high, Darby had flipped up her
uniform’s plaid skirt, planted her hands on headmistress’s moat of a desk,
and invited the Hand of God—Sister Mary Mildred’s paddle—to do its
worst.
The resounding crack echoed through twelve years of her memory as
she looked at him.
Last in the line of customers, waiting for her to part the Barbie-pink
curtains and begin dispensing the life-enhancing elixir, he glowered like he
wanted to dick-punch the sun just for rising.
Hungover, she guessed, if he’d necked as much beer the evening
previous as he had when she saw him last.
But there wasn’t supposed to be a last.
Because she was never supposed see him again.
This could not—should not—be happening.
For once in her life, Darby had done everything right. She had driven
three hours away from the tiny coastal hamlet of Townsend Harbor. She had
targeted a bar of the kind most Townsendites wouldn’t be caught dead in.
She had selected her quarry carefully after hours of observation.
Of all her one-nighters, why did it have to be him? The man who’d had
her recalibrating her walk for days afterward. The man who’d left her
stretched, abraded, satiated, and in such a manically good mood that her
colorist asked what kind of meds her psychiatrist had her on.
The man whose name she didn’t know despite the fact that he’d been
inside her.
Deep, deep inside.
“He sees everything you do, even when I don’t,” Sister Mary Mildred
whisper-hissed in her head.
Whack.
“His justice will be swift and sure.”
Crack.
Was that what this was?
Justice?
Some kind of karmic one-upmanship in her lifelong game of chicken
with the universe?
One thing Darby knew for sure. She really had to stop inviting wood to
come at her as hard as possible.
“To whomever it may concern,” she began, fastening her eyes shut. “I
solemnly swear I will never have another one-night stand so long as I live if
you could kindly make the lumbersnack-looking guy with the icy glare
