The slow service at the coffee shop was an affront to his existence. He was already running late, and the line was moving slower than molasses. The world was conspiring against him.

He was pouring out his heart to "CodeCrusher" online, a person who understood his struggles with programming. CodeCrusher was the only one that understood his rants about the bugs in his code.

As he was looking for a book on his list, a voice called out. "I can help with that." It was CodeCrusher, smiling and holding a book.
