THE VENDING MACHINE

I am a Monster Zero Ultra guy. Any time I need a pick-me-up, this silver can does the trick. As luck would have it, when I moved into my new apartment building, I found a vending machine with plenty of Monster Zero in stock. 

This bright red machine is like a tiny automated coffee shop. I double-click my phone,  hold it near the card reader, and the machine whirs to life. With the push of a button, an ice-cold drink drops down with a satisfying clunk. The whole process takes less than ten seconds. 

Seamless experiences like this are a delight for me. Even before my first sip, I felt my mood lift. Sometimes, it’s the little conveniences in life that add up to make a big difference. I flipped the tab to hear that familiar fizz and let my morning take shape.
