The boy and the cup

The sun was gone and in its place was a mysteries light in the sky. The young boy had never seen this light source before. Up in the sky he could see tiny twinkles of light and for the first time he saw a circle of light in the sky. He was bewildered. Never before had he seen such a thing. His parents had always made him go to bed early while the sun was still falling, but tonight was different. Tonight he had done something he had never before. He had taken a swig of some black substance from a cup he saw on his dad's table. The boy always sees his father drink this black goop and somehow just when he felt tired, the mysteries substance seem to have given him energy. Tonight the boy was able to swallow this black substance because his mother and father went out and his father carelessly left his cup out. This black substance interested the boy and in became infatuated with it. Oh, how this bitter liquid would reflect the years to come for this boy. A taste of the future...
