Trapped
I got stuck in an elevator today.
I was on my way to work when the city hall elevator had a problem. The elevator kept going up, but it didn't stop and the doors never opened. We were moving, but we were moving very slowly. I'd guess we were going up at about a floor every 20-30 seconds.
When the elevator reached the top floor (29), it hesitated, then started going back down...slowly.
We stopped at 27. The door opened. The four of us on the elevator got out as quickly as we could.
I was only "trapped" for about 4-5 minutes. That was enough time to know that I wouldn't want to get stuck in an elevator again.
