There is this library and it has some pods. I like the yellow one but before I could reach it someone took it. There was a grown-up in the yellow pod reading a kid's book. Her friend was trying to take a photo of her.

Modern life made many of us feel more isolated than is healthy. Then the world went into lockdown; the age of loneliness turned bad. However, not all relationships struggled; the Sydney Newspaper made a return as Sydneysiders decided to take some time to embrace the value of the paper news.
