boss in office

suddenly overcome with “escape fever”
starts sweating, panicing
boss fervently looking around: “how do i get out of here”
boss clawing at walls of office: “i’m going to die, i’ll suffocate,
the ceiling will collapse”

boss tries windows but his hands won’t work the latches

boss tries doors but his hands won’t work the knobs

as if the doors and windows are broken, but it’s really his hands
fumbling from so much panic

he tries to page his workers using various devices and each one his
hands break or fumble it as he uses them, as if they are disabled but
it’s his own hands

he looks every which way, eyes wide, begins trying to pry open a
ventilation shaft

he starts hallucinating seeing colored gas seep into the room

boss begins coughing

he calls his zombie government workers for help at the top of his
lungs but the hallucinated gas has become too thick and he can barely
squeak anything out

he falls unconscious

a root teddy bear walks up and nestles into his arms
