The Observation
I wonder how many of them are looking at pornography. Sitting in a coffee shop during the early afternoon, Bram observed his surroundings carefully. He ordered the simplest of drinks – a black coffee – and sat with his laptop alive in front of him, similarly to the rest of the café-goers.
