Very uncomfortable situation in the library…
I was on the 7th floor of the library, where I usually go to study between 11am and 12:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This girl, whom I had never seen before, and who was in some drug-induced state, came and sat in the desk right beside me. She was on the phone with a friend and was talking loudly about how she needed a sexual release. Note the audible shifting in seats as nearby people struggled with how to react to this. (Eventually I called public safety because she seemed a tad unwell, but I needed a recording because it was hard to believe).

Queens Zoo, NYC
We hear sirens, traffic, wind, the sound of falling water, people talking and the call of a talkative sea lion.
