He picked up the glass sphere from the coffee table before looking me in the eye and asking, “What is the world was a snow globe?” I told him to stop being ridiculous for it was obvious that the earth wasn’t enclosed in a layer of glass. “Well how do we know that?” he challenged.

We got out of the taxi in the middle of downtown and there was a promotional display in the plaza for a reshowing of a 1981 romcom. My brother made a comment about something “saving the media” as I rolled along in my wheelchair. Our father called at us from across the street as we were getting tickets to watch the new Tom Cruise movie. “Didn’t you want to watch it?” my dad asked with a mask over his head while he dragged my wheelchair. When we got to the ticket counter we were going to get a disabled ticket until we realized that they could only be bought in pairs (?) which made us hesitate about our decision. “Are you sure? It’s at a reduced price” someone said.

I was being interviewed in front of a camera about my studies and career plans. They asked me what I “3D [modeling/animation] [meant] to me” and where I was going to go next. I replied by talking into a speaker in front of me instead of looking at the camera. I listened to the recording afterwards and, as expected, my voice was barely audible.

Someone wasn’t a fan of the fireplace that was in the center of a middle-schooler’s bedroom. They didn’t like the “gravity” of the chimney. People were suggesting ways to modify the fireplace until I asked, “Why not just renovate the whole room?” In addition to the chimney, there was also a set of washing and drying machines in the back. “Get rid of these as well” I said.

We were about to head out and because I didn’t have my water bottle on hand, I used an empty carton of orange juice to carry water with me instead. I took one last mouthful before filling it up again. There was some kind of controversy going on in the news about a college student’s first-grader son. It had something to do with parental negligence.

I was following a man through the city that was climbing with and hanging on a green rope. We climbed up and over several metal roofs when a voice commented: “If only you had that kind of resolve”. We continued to weave through multiple identical hotels before ending up at the train station. After I got on the train, there was an upset girl to the side as well as some chatty grandparents a few seats behind me. We eventually ended up where we started by the tree that the children liked to play around.

We were going to be staying here for a month and I had packed 6 days of clothes. I figured that we would be washing clothes approximately once a week so it all worked, out. My dad told me to get rid of the old clothes that I had packed as they were most likely triggering my allergies.

The baseball field was a maze of chain-link fences and our car was in the middle of it. We had driven another car here to retrieve it after the fences came up overnight. When we finally got to the center, my father went back to his car that was parked outside. As we had an Audi, we had the opportunity to play a lottery game where the loser gets money. The problem was that we had to win in order to open the automatic gate.

I followed my brother to a party that was on the roof of a hotel. We slipped past the entrance when I wanted to ask him about the supernatural. “You’re five months late, sorry” he replied and kept walking. I sat down on a bench facing the pool while he went inside. Someone came up to me and asked why I always sat here alone. Before long it was 12 and everyone was leaving. I stayed in my seat.

I was wondering why we kept going up and down the escalators in the subway but it turned out that some of them passed through more than one floor so there were situations where the fastest way to go up a level was to go down first. I realized that I had forgotten something so we went back up to the vending machine on the surface. There was a dog waiting for me and someone told me that it seemed to be suffering from malnutrition. The robot wanted to be a part of the competition but it was in no way fit for the aerobics contest without training.
