I was wandering the aisles of a department store where they sold a Global Warfare game set. The game, however, did not include the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and they had set up a counter where they explained why not.
The counter had a large tank of gasoline and a number of other chemicals. They demonstrated how Sodium, when dropped in water, exploded, by dropping a little tablet of the substance which they had into some.
I took one of the tablets and put it in a little futuristic device I had in the shape of a circle from which a projector popped out and a small handle, which then produced a map of some college campus. It wouldn't display any other maps though, so I took it to the customer service counter. When I got there, however, it was a CVS/Pharmacy.
Climbing over the counter at the front of the pharmacy, I tentatively approached one of the people who was working at a computer next to my Dad. She assured me that I was in the right spot despite it being a CVS location, and I explained my device's problem to her. Activating it, it displayed a 3d fantasy world instead of the map, projecting the world over one's entire vision and displaying a fly-over of the terrain.
