A little boy is in a room with several other kids. They ask me to wait until he's outside, and then I can escort him to the bathroom. As a joke, I sing to him through the keyhole. My voice is high and ethereal, but I can't hit a note. I decide to take out my tablet and load up Etherpad, but there's a box of stuff on top of it. I have to excavate the junk to get to it. Fortunately, the screen is intact. I talk to the guy next to me about Etherpad. He's retirement age and he's not that interested until I start playing. Then, he raises his eyebrows and watches. My playing is interupted, however, by a video. In the video, people (pedestriants, commuters, sightseers) are sleeping on an interactive 911 monument in London. The monument is made of leather cushions the size of small sofas with several gigantic blankets thrown over them. The person videoing the scene pulls a blanket off someone. The guy who was disturbed quickly covers himself back up, irritated. Hilarious. When the video ends, I close the window and play some more Etherpad, but I fall asleep waiting for the boy to come out. On waking, the boy is gone. His mother took him home. The man next to me is gone too. Now it's just me and the tablet and the remaining kids, sleeping. I play Etherpad some more.
