Predawn Office Sleeve Rack with Monitor Glow

Sparse fluorescent light reflects off the laminate finish of a metal rack holding cylindrical procurement sample-return sleeves. The cylinders sit in tight rows, their labels readable enough to suggest specific business support work. Behind the rack, a wall of monitors emits a cool blue glow that washes over the dark carpet and the glass partitions of the operations center. Rain streaks the large windows to the right, blurring the Veracruz night outside while the interior remains still. One shadow falls across the bottom of the rack, at the base of the equipment in the quiet predawn darkness.
