Our nation wakes up this morning with news that shakes our reality: The Mona Lisa has left her frame at the Louvre to have a coffee.
The Louvre Museum was the scene of an event as unexpected as it was revolutionary in the early hours of the morning. As the night guards patrolled the silent corridors of the venerable institution, they witnessed an event that left the art world speechless: the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, had simply disappeared from her frame.
“For a second,” says Bernard Frou, the main night guard, “I thought it was another unfortunate burglary. But then I heard a noise behind me, the sound of a coffee cup clattering on a table. And there she was, right at the next table, sipping a double espresso.” Yes, you read that correctly. It seems that the Mona Lisa left her frame and decided to delve into the mystery of Parisians’ favorite drink.
According to the guards, the iconic figure of the Renaissance spent a good time sipping her coffee, seeming to enjoy a moment of solitude in the large empty museum. “I don’t know how to explain,” Bernard continued, “but she seemed…relaxed. As if the weight of five centuries had suddenly been lifted from her shoulders. She even asked me where the coffee machine was.”
While some might be tempted to question the veracity of this event, surveillance footage seems to corroborate the version of events shared by the night guards. The images clearly show the Mona Lisa sipping her coffee, her eyes sparkling with a simple but deeply human pleasure.
The event ends with a quote from the Mona Lisa herself, who reportedly whispered to Bernard as she left, “Life is too short to drink bad coffee.” A phrase that will undoubtedly soon become as famous as the lady’s own enigmatic smile.
