Raw Material into Story: Mystery of the Hava Java



A small hut in the middle of a parking lot which sells coffee. Unbeknownst to its customers, it conceals an ancient spring, from which pours the most delicious coffee known to man. This coffee is so delicious that it can grant the drinker his deepest, darkest desires. The keeper of this coffee hut is an old man, who has taken it upon himself to protect the spring from the modern world. He dilutes the coffee with tap water, so it no longer grants wishes, it only tastes very good. Though he has been kept alive much longer than normal by the aroma of the coffee, his strength is fading, so he hires a young man to help him. The young man discovers the secret and drinks the coffee, only to have his darkest desires destroy his life. The old man explains the he once drank the coffee many years ago, which is how he is aware of its terrible power. The old man drinks the coffee again, which undoes the young man's wish, but also seals the spring forever and ends the old man's life.
