Boxed In

Jimmy called his cubicle 3:00 am Iowa... if you thought about it
that name fit only too well. It was an environment without any natural
light... It could be best summed up as fluorescent overkill. Without
a watch you'd be hard pressed to know the time of day, and the lack
of windows removed all sense of place. You didn't know the season,
and there were no geographical references off in the distance. No,
all there was to look at were the grey walls of a seven foot tall cubicle
smaller than a prison cell. This would be Jimmy's home for more than
a quarter of a century. His office mates scarcely noticed he died,
that is until the smell started to give it away.
