I was sitting at a diner with my family for breakfast. Everyone else had gotten their meals of meat and berry pies but my plate was empty because I couldn’t make up my mind on what to order. My dad asked my brother if he could show him his teeth. My brother showed off his set of dentures while his wife showed us her golden implants.

We were playing videogames on the TV. Someone leaned over and sniffed another person’s back. I started grinding my teeth with a sensation of plastic plates in my mouth.

I was coming back to the office after my lunch break when I looked at the calendar and realized that I actually had nothing scheduled for the rest of the day. It was a Monday and I wasn’t really sure what I was supposed to do.

We were watching a talent show and the last scheduled performance was a couple singing a duet. Just when we thought the show was over, my dad drunkenly stumbled onto the stage and started singing “Don’t Stop Me Now” at the top of his lungs.

I was directing people where to go inside of a busy train station.
