Scaling the Barrier

Staring down this cardboard monolith from below accomplishes nothing. I hooked my gloves into the folded seam along its base, testing the cardboard's grip. The brown fiber held firm. Bracing one boot against a crease, I drove upward and hauled myself onto the summit flap. From up here, the entire floor stretches out like an open perimeter. A reasonable start, but this small elevation is merely the baseline.
