[WP] "Passengers beyond this point must continue to exist" | Shit. I'm an idea. I don't even exist in the first place. Actually, I don't know if I exist. Am I a good idea? Are good ideas the only ones that matter? Am I still in anyone's mind? Do I only exist until my creator forgets about me? Man, existence is hard. Maybe they won't notice.

Nice enough place: clean counter-top surrounded by bar-stools, a few booths, some clean, some still stacked with dishes. Its age showed, the seats with scuffs and rips in the cushions.
