“Been a pretty boring couple of days, hasn’t it?” asked Thor.
“Sure has,” replied Catrina.
The two of them sat atop the concierge desk of the Secaucus Holiday Inn, looking out across the empty hotel lobby.
“You think everyone’s week has been this uneventful?”
“You mean, like, ‘everyone everywhere’ everyone?”
“Yeah. You think maybe the whole planet’s just been sitting around on their asses going, ‘Man, what the balls. This has been one boring-ass week.’”
“Not the entire planet, no way,” replied Catrina. “There’s bound to be someone doing something somewhere. Most people are far more enterprising and adventurous than us.”
“I guess that’s true,” said Thor.
A grizzly bear wearing a shirt and tie and carrying a skateboard stepped off the elevator into the lobby and walked to the concierge desk.
“I’d like to check out, please,” said the grizzly bear, putting his keycard on the counter.
“Sure thing,” said Catrina, swinging her legs around, hopping off the desk, taking the keycard, and logging into the computer. “And how was your stay, sir?”
“Pretty uneventful,” said the grizzly bear, shrugging.
“Tell me about it, man,” said Thor to the grizzly bear. “I think it’s an epidemic.”
