We were in the Halpern* House which was the residence of a man who was alive over 900 years ago. We watched a short presentation of his life story on the screen. What looked like a movie was actually gameplay footage being broadcasted through the projector.

There was a large display of Pokemon themed razor blades in the middle of the room. Each blade was in a small cloth pocket with a plastic see-through window. “Do you think any of these blades have any residue from their last use?” I asked. On the back side were the names of the donators for each blade written on small pieces of paper, in their respective pockets.

We drove up the steps by the side of the cemetery until we were at the top of the hill to park for a bathroom break. A family friend gave me her husband’s cellphone because mine did not have any reception here. It was an iPhone in a black and white patterned case. I walked through the nondescript door to find myself in a large room with dark blue walls.

I was in the bathroom apparently. But people also ate in here. I was looking for the toilets and was informed that people actually pissed in plastic trays that they poured into holes on the counters instead of getting proper plumbing installed.

I got a call on the phone that was lent to me signalling that it was time to go. I also got a glimpse of the time: it was 13:42.
