As the clerk of the office, Michael had a mundane life,consigned to regimenting scattershot files, that seemed interminable. One day, his disposition towards the job subverted, hating it and thinking all this years had only piqued him. He had enough to deal with a petulant boss who's curt instructions are always misleading. He didn't wait to get fired, he ousted himself from the office because he handles almost all the filing. Even if the boss wanted to fire him, he was the one to file it. After that, his normal life became ephemeral, he started to traverse to adjoining states. Peripatetic, he scours the states to ensconce himself where the guile of life no longer worries him.
