Write an original story entitled "Trapped in a lift"
Answers
Brian Acott, Arkholme, UK I was once trapped in a lift in an old office block. I rang the alarm for ages but no one responded so, in a "Bruce Willis" moment, I forced the doors open - only to find I was just a couple of inches off the ground floor. I walked out with what little dignity I had left.
Don, Gatineau, Canada I grew up on Long Island and when I was 11 my mother, my two younger brothers and my aunt were in the city. The adults decided to take us to the top of the Empire State Building as us kids had not been there. The elevator got stuck between the 55th and 56th floor. We shared the elevator with two Danish women who had a two-year-old with them. I always remember they let him relieve himself in the corner. We were stuck for about 90 minutes and for some reason no one panicked. Finally we made our way to the top and enjoyed the view. The next day my aunt noticed she had a few burst veins in her legs, I suppose from the [raised blood] pressure.

Explanation:
TRAPPED IN A LIFT.
I have always had a huge phobia for closed spaces. I will intentionally use the stairs instead of the elevators due to this phobia. But then, there are times I couldn't escape the use of the lift, like for example emergencies, or when I get too tired. Going to office daily, I had to encounter this dilemma of whether to use the lift or not and it will almost end up with me taking the stairs and tiring myself from early morning. But as long as it kept me away from the life, I felt happy.
Then one day, the impossible happened. I was so late for work that I had no choice but to use the elevator to get to the 10th floor of the office. Despite my worries and fears, I forced myself to get into the lift. Initially, i was glad that there was no one in the lift and I am safe from embarrassing myself if I ever fre ak out. Feeling happy that I can easily get it over with the ride soon, I pressed the floor button and was on my way up when the lift momentarily stopped on the 6th floor. thinking it was just a minor issue, I held on to my breath and tried to push the other buttons to work.
But nothing seemed to be working. I pressed the emergency call button and got through to the operator who told me that there was some technical glitch in the system. I was the told to wait for some minutes which to me, was like years. Forcing myself not to panic, I began thinking of good things. Soon, the door was opened and things got fine again. But it made me more scared of the lift than I had previously been. And from that day on, I promised myself that I will never use the life unless it's a "do or die" situation.
