The yellow tape runs a precise, unbroken line across the polished concrete, marking the boundary of the aisle. Against the painted cinderblock wall, a stack of uniform cardboard boxes rests, but one box is different. It is slightly askew, and its contents spill a damp, vibrant green over the edges. Inside, a thick cushion of living moss has taken root, thriving in the cool, humid air of the stockroom. A slow drip of condensation, originating from an unseen source above, falls steadily onto the moss, making the damp earth smell sharp and sweet. The box seems to have settled there, a small, quiet pocket of wild life defying the surrounding geometry and the silent pressure of efficient storage. It is a perfect, accidental tableau, anchored by the bright, indifferent yellow of the tape.
