Would you like to live in a place like that? Could you stand it? So neat, so tidy, so filled with discomfort, so inhospitable.

You walk into the place and all laughter dies. Are you a teenager? Could you go to a friend's house where there a giggle would be a signal perhaps to leave.

The giggle passes, now you notice how still it is. The air is putrid. It may not smell foul, but it is.

Everything is uncomfortable. You almost wish you didn't have to sit down because when you do, the plastic covers are going to make noise in objection to your weight.

Nobody is real. The kitchen / dining room is a place for eating in silence; even swallowing is a chore.

Would you like such a place?

the answer is: tabard inn, southwark.

in "the canterbury tales," by geoffrey chaucer, the twenty-nine diverse group of pilgrims is staying at a tavern in southwark, london, as they are traveling to canterbury. they wish to visit the relics of saint thomas becket in canterbury   cathedral in order to him for his when they underwent necessities.
