Bored bus ticket seller with a nervous habit
Goal: to get out of town

Terms to weave in for flavor: Trapped, stuck, itchy, small, barren, empty, cramped, abandoned
Hint: weave words in where the emotional bits don't fit; if they resonate, they'll prime your reader. For example, hollow, plastic, shallow, fake, empty.
For example:
After his cheating wife hung up, he went to work cleaning up after the rich girl's quinceañera.
Empty boxes had been strewn about the room, admid bits of wrapping paper and cheery fake flowers. The hollow cardboard tubes rolled out from under his feet until he bent over and threw them in the plastic bins. "It's time I got rid of her. Time I escaped."
