A hospital waiting room. A nurse with a pet hippo carries a tray with a sliced orange and a syringe. A little black dog tugs open a folding privacy screen; behind it, a warm glow and a power cable running to the wall — no man, just the machine. A brass robot gentleman on a flip phone points at a goldfish eyeing an arcade joystick. A burlap scarecrow reads a leather book beside a tin man in a hoodie reading a glowing tablet. A red banker's lamp, a jenga tower and playing cards wait on the table. An emoji keypad and a flip clock sit in the reception window under a Mondrian whose lower half has gone the wrong colors. Spray-painted on the wall in dripping stencil letters, pink fading to blue: 0zhub.com — a place for everything — coming soon, with a line of Tamil beneath, and the circled-Z mark tagged on the privacy screen.
