Ellie's Elevator Horror Stories No.4625745
WARNING - This post is of Raggy/Staci proportions. Read if you so desire...but beware of nightmares.
So today I was on an elevator. As the doors slid open, I scanned the bodies aboard, assessing their weight, height, health and cleanliness. Judging them worthy of my presence, I stepped on, and pressed my floor. As we rose to the next floor, for some reason my heart began pounding, my temples throbbed and my palms became sweaty.
With a loud 'ding' , my fears were confirmed when a sweaty, tracksuited, overweight monster wedged himself in...I knew then it was too late for any chance of escape, so I closed my eyes, prayed for survival, and waited for my ordeal to be over. With the elevator juddering alarmingly, due to his enormous bulk, I take a deep breath. True to form, he barges his way over to me, sweat dripping from his every pore, his cheeks as red as a smacked arse, and his armpits as moist as Idina at bedtime. The effort to disguise my revulsion failing miserably, I couldn't help but physically recoil. I swallowed hard, desperately trying to prevent myself from vomitting.
As we reached the next floor, I made fleeting eye-contact with a fellow hostage, terror in her eyes. We were in this thing together - or so I thought until the bitch made a swift exit at her earliest opportunity. So much for bonding in times of crisis. Now alone, I realized it would take all of my resources to escape this nightmare intact, and unscathed...
Edging back along the elevator mirror, I tried in vain to slide along to 'the other side', to a safe haven, an oasis, a place where his flying beads of sweat couldn't reach my delicate, porcelain skin. Alas, now turning bright blue from holding my breath, I make a fatal error, and splutter uncontrollably. With a loud grunt, this creature turns slowly and faces me, opening his white-flek ridden mouth wide. I tell you I nearly screamed. I thought he was going to eat me.
'Y'alright?' he wheezes, mercilessly, taunting me with his every speck of spit. Clinging with all my might to the bar along the side, I mumble 'F-f-ine...'. Noticing his flowery headband and and grotesquely overgrown sideburns, I couldn't help but wonder...where this ****er come from? The summer of '69?
With that, my prayers were answered, and the doors slid open, the bright lights of freedom blinding me. Thank you lord, thank you, I whispered as the lump waddled off, hopefully never to be seen again...
This is not the first of these incidents. When will I learn?? Elevators - no. Stairs - yes.
