Zabyva Securing the Recess

Night silenced the archive room, and staying exposed on the open desk was out of the question. Behind the heavy wooden monitor riser, I discovered a dark, enclosed slot flanked by thick cables. A discarded metal tape dispenser sat wedged against the backboard, its weighted base completely immobile. I gripped the corner of a heavy cardstock index file and dragged it across the oak veneer, propping it at an angle between the dispenser's iron frame and the wall. It formed a rigid lean-to screen that blocks the draft and cuts off all sightlines from the open floor. I sat flat inside the recessed redoubt, resting my back against the dense metal base. Fortified and unmonitored. #TADC #DigitalCircus #Zabyva
