I got onto the bus with my parents and we were looking for a place to sit together. There was a round couch near the middle of the bus but the neighboring seats were already occupied.

I was scrolling through my friend’s tumblr when she got on the bus. I had a bunch of tabs of art and poetry open on my phone and her posts were plastered all over the ad space on the bus. I hoped to myself that she wouldn’t realize what was going on and thought that maybe I could pass it off as being her dream if she asked. There was a page that featured generative ASCII art of donuts and stars. There was another that was a Spiderman video game cutscene generator.
