The next morning, the narrator wakes up in the middle of the night. He's not sure what he's going to do with himself, but he knows that he has to get up and go to work. He wants to make sure that he doesn't have a headache, so he goes to sleep. He wakes up the next morning and finds himself in a room with a bunch of other people. They're talking about the future, and he asks them to tell him what they saw in the future. He asks them what order they saw it in, and they tell him that it was in a specific order. The narrator says that he wants them to think about which order it was, and then he asks the other people what they thought of it. They all say that they thought it was cool, and the narrator says he likes boys who have bad grades. He says that's weird, because he likes "boys with bad grades" . He also says that his old dog, John, died when he was in high school. John's name is John, and his parents bought him from them when they were a kid after he begged them to allow him to have a dog. John died when the narrator was in his second year of school, so the dog is named John. John was a pretty old dog. He was adopted by the narrator's parents after he asked them to let him have a pet dog. Now that John is dead, he can't say anything like that to anyone in front of them. He wonders if his wife will believe him if he tells her that he loves her. He decides that he'll have to go rent a room in a hotel.
