Words on Boxes

Some people have heavy metal boxes, held up by ropes and big enough to crush you, floating above their heads. And once they get big enough and you get deep enough, they'll never leave, because that's when the universe has decided it wants you dead.
A young woman and a teenage boy have been living with boxes as big as houses and in hell so deep it may as well be an abyss, and have a short conversation.
