Strange & Twisted World

Sixteen...seventeen...eighteen. Eric counted under his breath and then it happened. What Eric feared everyday finally happened. The elevator stalled between floors and the lights went out. Oh god...oh god! Please tell me this isn't happening! He quickly placed his hands against the back of the elevator wall and the moans and groans of the others faded into the background. He slid down the wall and crawled into fetus position against the corner of the elevator. The elevator music rung in his head. It only made the situation worse. Shut it off! Shut that goddamn music off! he screamed. Carol Pollack could not clearly see Eric in the dark but his screams were very clear and disturbing. What's the matter with Eric? Teddy quickly pushed the others to the side and knelt next to Eric in the dark elevator. He's having an episode. Stand back away from him. An episode? Bill questioned. What kind of episode? That's all we need. We're stuck in this elevator and this guy is going to go all berserk on us. Shut up Billie! You don't have a clue as to what he is experiencing right now. Get on that phone and them to shut the damn music off and get this elevator running quickly. Okay okay Billie answered.
