Characters: guy, me

While using my computer outdoors, there was an unusual email on my laptop, addressed to me. It had a subject line with symbols in it--something like "•"•★•"•simple math•"•♥•"•for someone who can understand it•"•★•"•". When I opened the message, it was running an animation in the title bar.
Note
The animation looked like Conway's Game of Life:
...which is commonly studied by computer scientists.
I assumed there was some kind of web browser vulnerability going on. Looking to see if I was running Internet Explorer, I saw that I was running Firefox. Whatever was going on was making the browser hang, so I went to kill it. But I was interrupted by a guy who came by.
guy: "You have to get home now, this isn't a safe place."
me: "I don't know if you're trying to distract me from my dream investigation or trying to help me. But I'll tell you what...if you tell me a funny joke, I'll listen to your advice."
He started into a joke that didn't seem very funny, but while he was doing so everyone started clearing the area as if something dangerous was about to happen. I decided to make a run for it, but fell on the sidewalk. A horse trotted up to me and licked my hand, which woke me up.
Currently I am experimenting with using Disqus for comments, however it is configured that you don't have to log in or tie it to an account. Simply check the "I'd rather post as a guest" button after clicking in the spot to type in a name.

The accounts written here are as true as I can manage. While the words are my own, they are not independent creative works of fiction —in any intentional way. Thus I do not consider the material to be protected by anything, other than that you'd have to be crazy to want to try and use it for genuine purposes (much less disingenuous ones!) But who's to say?
