I open my eyes and see that I pressed button number 2
Nothing happens
I press number 3Nothing
Number 4Nothing
Maybe number 1?Still nothing
I am feeling very confused right now
ME: I am confused.
KATE: Well, it should be working.
ME: Well, it's not, neighbor. None of them are.
KATE: Let me try.
She tries
Nothing happensI look at the donkeys on my left. Stupid Kate
KATE: Lina, I am a very claustrophobic person. If this is a joke of some sort, this is not funny.
ME: Well Kate, do you see me laughing right now?
KATE: No, I don't.
She pauses
KATE: So, what do we do?
ME: Easy we just...Oops
I look at the door
There is none
Where is the freaking door???I look at the walls
No walls
Where are the donkeys???KATE: Where are the walls?! The ceiling, the door?!
I look at my feet, and so does Kate
ME: At least there is still a floor.
KATE: Still?! Are we going to die?
ME: Please don't ask me that, I am already very confused, remember?
KATE: Oh yes, sorry.
Yes, you should be
I try to look around, confused and scared
Both at the same time
ME: Are you scared?
KATE: Of course I am scared. Aren't you?
ME: Oh no I am scared alright. I am freaking out.
Then it happened
BAM!
The elevator, no, the floor, starts falling
I grab Kate
She grabs me
We are both falling, faster and fasterI try to estimate how long we have until our ultimate death
Considering the fact that we were already at the lobby, how deep could this possibly go?
I am obviously too freaked out to estimate shit
