Basking in the fluorescent lights


So, as our summer internship begins, we've been wondering how we came to be here, hidden away in this windowless, airless room...while the other group of interns occupies the windowed, natural-light-filled room in the front of the building. Why?

It's clear that we're just too hot to let out into the open. We're like a clandestine uranium enrichment program, hidden in an underground bunker. Or a secret pot farm thriving under fluorescent grow-lights in the attic of an innocent-looking suburban house.


So, let the Boiler Room lackeys soak up the natural light and pretend to get work done, like manequins in a retail store's display window. We'll be back here in the airless, windowless nerve center, quietly wringing justice from a corrupt world.
