I was in a weird city, taking a bus twice through a touristy district. I think I was staying at my stepmother’s. I was waiting for my brother and his family to arrive. I had some time on my hands and thought I should see a movie. Near the theater I downloaded an app to my phone that turned out to be some kind of horrible virus. It looked like an old video game that was impossible to escape. I desperately tried to turn it off and return to the home screen. There were all these other buttons on my phone, including one called a “battery reset.” Someone suggested I try that, but it didn’t work either. I knew that when I got home, at least, I could reset the phone.

Later I watched a play in which a character defecated on stage.
