[open] everyday trauma @ your library

[ So you're at the local public library, and you've taken a seat to do - something, anything that suits your fancy, in this corner over here. It's a pretty nice corner, as public spaces go, cozy and well-lit, though if you stay too long the artificial lighting might start to give you a headache (there's a window, but let's face it: since when was it ever properly sunny here?). Really, it's the sort of space where you could happily lose track of time, if you were so inclined.

Except now, hovering just far back enough to almost be there by coincidence, there's a boy with a schoolbag staring at you, apparently at a loss for words, paralyzed by indecision. He comes to this library every day. He does his homework here every day. And you're sitting in his spot.

He apparently has no idea how to handle this situation. So instead he's just going to stand here, thwarted.

Because that isn't creepy or awkward at all. ]

She just kept eyeing him critically and responded, "Does it look like anyone's sitting there?"

Maybe she was the one being rude now, but it should have been obvious...right? It wasn't like she'd always chosen the same seat before for any reason.
