Small Places : Nick L Belardes [128 of 128]

• In a few hours traffic will fill this place. Jets will roar. People will stop at the big church down the street and search for answers.
• And I will probably walk to work, have a meaningless conversation at Buildicon, with people I don't care about.
• It's a company about selling products, not about selling friendships, I remind myself.
• I know I will continue my private revolt, my personal corporate mockery at what the world has become in this sea of cubicles.
• In these endless grey cubicles in cities across an American wasteland of product-driven dreams, people search for individuality.
• In this darkness I feel anxious. All around there is a glittering, twinkling brightness in the universe swarming the night sky.
• For the first time in years I feel like I’m outside of the small places. And that’s not so bad.
• She’s still on the phone. She’s still there. The End.
