Elevator it is!

Let's see...

Press 5, door close...

Ding. Floor 1.

Ding. Floor 2.

Ding. Floor 2.

Crap.

Ding. Floor 2.

Not again...

The doors are sliding open and closed erratically and two separate floors are visible between them.

Suddenly, the floor drops away.

No, wait, the whole box is plummeting.

It's only two floors plus the basement, the brakes will kick in, right?

The metal box stops, the doors wide open. I walk out, completely unharmed.

Shaken, but unharmed.

I can see the enormous coils that act as cushioning springs underneath the now-useless elevator. The room is just large enough to walk around outside the box.

"Help!" I yell.

No answer.

Why did I take the elevator?

I should have known better.

What if no one hears me?

That's silly, eventually, someone will notice the elevator not working.

Right?
