The Java Paradox - 100 Word Microfiction Challenge

Trapped within a never-ending time loop in a perpetual cycle of determination and temptation, I vowed to quit coffee. Each morning, I'm lured in by the irresistible promises of a gateway to a super me with caffeine-fueled clarity. Guilt grumbles as the first sip feels like stepping through that magic portal, awakening my senses and fueling my ambitions. Yet, as the day progresses, the caffeine-induced highs give way to jittery restlessness. In the twilight, regret and determination collide. Fatigue creeps in. Then, rinse and repeat. It's a time loop with the bittersweet frenemy. Finally, I detox—and then... time loop!
