The principal’s office was not a place that I visited often, and even more seldom was it a place that I came to on purpose. Just sitting in the reception area felt unnatural. I fidgeted in my chair: crossed my legs, smoothed my hair, and tapped my fingers. The sound of shuffling papers was the only reprieve from the professional hush of the office.

It was my turn for guard duty today. I head for our boarders and since I was the first one here like always I pull out my journal and finish my report on the maple tree. I'm a real fan of how nature works and why certain things occur. I laugh to myself as I remember the movie Avatar by James Cameron." What's so funny?" said a gruff voice.

While the short story appears to be a description of your run-of-the-mill office space, there are some underlying hints towards the fact that this might not actually be a professional place of employment. The evidence, including the details of the characters and the strange rules of the workplace, has such an eerie tone that I have reason to believe that this so-called office is a ward in a mental institution instead.
