elevator no. 4 page 7 by ric gustafson


Justin pushed the elevator button as he held onto the Styrofoam container. The door opened and he held it open.
" Thank you" replied the young woman as she walked inside.
He held the door open for the young man with the scowl. He did not smile or say thanks.
Justin walked in and then the door closed. He pushed the button for the first floor. " Is everyone going down to the first floor?".
Both nodded yes.
Justin pushed the first floor button again and then felt the elevator jolt.
Anita felt the jolt. " What happened?".
" I'm sure it's nothing". He pushed the button again. Nothing happened.
" That's just great" Mark said as he gave them a stern look. " It's Thanksgiving and I'm stuck in an elevator".
Justin pushed the call button.
" Yes".
" There are three of us stuck in elevator no.4 on the 3rd floor".
" Stay calm, we are currently working on the situation".
Mark shook his head at the other two. " Just when I thought my day couldn't get worse".
" God will protect us" Justin said as he opened the Styrofoam container. " Would either of you like to share some leftover Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy with me?".
