It was a Poe story set on Chambers Street.
An ordinary business meeting between two men veered into vitriol. At knifepoint, the authorities said, one of the men was bound and gagged by the other, and then imprisoned in the claustrophobic space beneath the floorboards of an apartment.
As time ticked slowly away, he wrestled free of his bindings and tapped against the floor with a pipe. No one heard. No one came. Only after 28 hours trapped in this netherspace, with no food or water, was he able to pry his way out.

Is it bad that I think that 28 hours in a crawlspace would be better and more relaxing than most days at work? Perhaps a sign that I should be looking for a new job.
