You’re stuck in the elevator with an intriguing stranger. Write this scene.
I came out of Selfridges The department store in London, England for some reason, I was in a hurry to get the Piccadilly line underground tube train. I took the first available elevator, well this is when my plan to get back to my residence in a hurry failed.
I noticed there were others who were in the elevator, they looked like people from some other planet, their language and their behavior was something I hadn’t encountered before. I took a spot and stood there hoping I’d reach the ground fast.
It was not to be, immediately after I entered the door closed. I heard someone say, ” welcome Miss to our unbelievable device, it will take you wherever you want to go, you need to have patience.”
I think I was scared I never heard an elevator speaking before, in a moment of frenzy I spoke out loud, ” I do not have time, I have to catch my train as soon as possible.”
I had barely finished talking, when right there before me was an odd looking stranger, half his face was covered with a long flowing beard, the other half was clean shaved, when he spoke his teeth resembled Gabriel and Rafa’s, my feline friends, he was wearing Rumplestilskin’s boots and every second made a noise, enough to frighten the bravest human being. As you can guess I am the most timid person who ever set foot on this planet.
Upon seeing this stranger I looked for another spot to move into, his form seemed to cover the length and width of the elevator, “Miss stay still this is my order or I’ll turn you into a werewolf.”
“Please don’t change me into anything I won’t move from my spot.” I said.
Hearing me speak brought about an earth shaking laughter out of him, I felt the elevator would come apart.
“This device will take us to an unknown destination, you’d be able to eat and drink, there will be fairies to entertain you, you must stay calm or we’ll end up in a dungeon,return from there would be impossible,” he yelled!
Those words scared me I completely froze and tried to think of the prayers my mom taught me to escape from danger. While I was trying to recall which prayer would be more suitable. I heard a loud alarm.
The weird man was trying to get my attention, “Hey you he said, did you hear my warning?”
“Warning? ” I repeated !
“Yes, you forgot about the dungeon, from where you never can come out?”
“I do ,Really I remember, I thought you said something else I did not hear?”
“Want me to speak louder?”
“Oh no, I was nervous, I cannot remember what I said?
He seemed to take pity on me and calmed right down, in a very low and friendly voice he said, “I’ll reach you to the right floor so you can take the tube train to, did you mention Piccadilly line?”
“Yes sir, thank you, thank you,” I said with a frightened voice.
“Here we are”, said the spooky guy. “Do not tell anyone about your experience, if you betray me, I’ll come after you, so beware, just tell them you met this awesome nice guy who took you for a ride in his very own elevator, Cheerio folks!”
