Stuck In a Lift With Stuck Up Guy

The lift shook before it started
A warning sign which I did not heed
There was another guy in here too
He did not glance up

We stopped suddenly with a jerk
It knocked me almost off my feet
The guy wearing the suit hit his head 
He glared at me

As if it is my fault
I wished I was a carnivore 
And a cannibal.
I began elaborate plans to devour him
if we got stuck for a week or so

He deserved it
He had not been pleasant
There was no conversation
A fireman came down through the roof
He took me out first.
I was sad.
I had been plotting to bite the guy’s leg.

Hello Caren, I have been stuck in elevator twice. Once as a child and as an adult. So now I am terrified of them. Iwil take the stairs, Hugs.

Hello Caren, if no one is taking the elevator I will take the stairs. If some else is taking the elevator, I will get on but if that person gets off before I do, I will get off and walk the rest of the stairs. Hugs

Wow, I would have been terrified. I'm not too fond of elevators anyway.
