MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Local author Amber Kelly was forced to take a break from her writing at Starbucks as the barista engaged in a dramatic battle with the whipped cream dispenser.

A nearby latte recipient erupted in giggles as the barista's enthusiastic efforts resulted in a foamy explosion that sent whipped cream flying like confetti at a celebration.

"My writing process involves gliding outside my frontal cortex," Ms. Kelly explained in exasperation. "I try to put my conscious mind to sleep so my longhand can free-type, but the chaos of clanging metal and laughing patrons dislodges me from my thoughts."

As she attempted to meditate in silence, the milk steamer emitted excruciatingly loud squeaks that could rival a rusty door hinge. "There was just no going back to that mental state," Ms. Kelly lamented. "I’ll have to wait until next Tuesday to step into character. It’s officially done."

At publishing time, other Starbucks patrons peacefully reading their morning newspapers were now churning their stomachs at the cacophony of the milkshake muster occurring on both sides. It was loud, but products of the milk bar sounded oh-so-delicious.
