I sit at the same office desk that I have had for the last 10 longest years of my life. I type on the same keyboard, which is missing the paint from the letters A, E, and T, after being used for so long. The same computer shows me the same documents, the same tap-tap-tap of the keys...
I can't take this anymore.
The same coworkers tell me the same stories, as I eat the same lunch that I have every day at the same hour. Our office workers give the same speech as they always do, about how hard they work, and about how much fun they have at home...
No. I think to myself, breath quickening, heart beginning to race. I... Can't... Take... This... Any... More...
I tear away, breaking for the stairs, leaping over desks and chairs.
"What the hell?!" Someone shouts as I bound down the steps, floor after floor, until I'm finally outside, breathing in the fresh air. Loosening my tie, I get into my car, feeling alive for the first time in so many years.
And I drive.
I drive away... From everything...
