Elevator issues


Your P.O.V.

You work as a secretary. Plain and simple. The most boring job on the planet. Your boss hates you, for stupid things that you know you don't do, but you say you did, because you do not want to get fired again. This is the fourth job you have had in two years and you are determined to make this one work.

It is 9:00 at night and you just finished up the paperwork your boss had you do for the day. You turn in the paperwork, grab your work bag, and head to the elevator. You press the button to go down. Since you work on the 25th floor, you know the elevator is very slow.

Once the elevator arrives, you get on and press the ground floor button. Just as the elevator doors are about to close, a strange man in a black leather jacket rushes in.

"Hold up!" He yells, as his body squeezes through the doors.

He puts his hands on his knees and breathes heavily, like he was just running. After a few minutes, he stands up straight.

"Phew, that was a close one." He says, in a northern accent. He smiles at you. "Hello, what's your name?"

You look at him. "(F/N). You alright? What were you running from?"

"Oh, I wasn't running from anything. I just didn't want to miss the elevator. Long wait for the next one." He says.

You sigh. "That's true. I once had to wait a whole hour to get off of that office floor."

He chuckles and says, "Bet that wasn't fun."

"No, it definitely wasn't." You say.

Suddenly, the elevator stops and the lights go out. You start to get panicky. You really do not know what to do in situations like this, because the elevator has never broken down before. The lights flicker back on and the strange man was hiding something behind his back.

"Ah, that should be better." He says. "You ok? You lookin a little pale..."

And indeed, you were pale. You get very dizzy. You sit down on the elevator floor, and as the elevator starts to move again, you let out a breath that you didn't even know you were holding. The man kneels down and looks at you.

"(F/N). Are you ok?" He says.

"Yeah, I... I'm good" you reply. "I get claustrophobic easily..."

"Oh, ok." He says, getting up.

*Ding* the elevator doors open to reveal the first floor. You get up off the ground and walk out of the elevator. As you turn around to thank the man for accompanying you on the elevator, you notice that he disappeared. He just vanished.
