Space Bar

There are four internet workstations in the library. A young man is typing away at one of the computers. An old man enters and sits at the computer next to the young man.

"We're in big trouble if they find out this causes cancer," says the old man.

The young man smiles, thinks about it, and says, "Just about every other thing we do causes cancer,"

"Might as well enjoy it then," says the old man.

They type away.

A few seconds pass. "We're all gonna go anyways, right?" the young man adds.

They type away. Except for the hollow taps of the space bar, they are quiet the rest of the way.
