Passage 5
Too Much of a Mess
by Jon Caswell
Murphy had never seen so much clutter in one office. Although he had checked the room number, he was convinced it was just a storeroom and not the records office he was looking for. Murphy started to return to the main corridor, but then he noticed the top of the clerk's head behind a stack of files. The man looked up from what he was doing and asked, "May I help you?"
Murphy eyed the clutter in the office. Truth was he wasn't sure that the clerk could help him at all. He needed verification of a tax ID number. How could the clerk find anything in this mess?
Murphy stepped back and looked at the office number once again. "No, no, I have the wrong office," Murphy lied and walked down the hall. Maybe I can do this on the Internet, he thought as he pushed open the door to the main corridor.
