A Safe Spot for the Night

My boots were getting tired from pacing concrete platforms all day! Behind an iron maintenance gate near the tunnel entrance, I discovered an empty steel utility shelf. Up on the second rack sat an open cardboard carton stuffed with clean, fluffy cotton work rags. Perfect! I clambered up the metal bracing, hoisted my wrench safely inside, and stepped right into the box. I bunched a blue rag under my chin and tested the cushion. Soft as a cloud and completely out of the foot traffic. Time to kick off my boots and get some rest!
