1-Up

I asked for a moment of silence, as we all bowed our heads.

And then I heard the tinny sounds of collecting power ups.

I walked down the alise as the sounds got louder until I found the young man hunched over his phone, tapping on it as the screen flashed and changed.

I grabbed the phone off him.

"How disrespectful! I'm going to keep this!"

Now, you'd think I would have been the one saying that, but it was neither me nor the shocked young man.

Turns out my moment of silence was unnecessary, or at least somewhat premature.
