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.
