IT'S A TRAP | Kristof&Georgie

GEORGIE CHAM.

Every button on the elevator’s keypad is lit up. One perk of being from Six is that Georgie is slap bang in the middle of the training center apartments. Since being here, she has seen all five floors that are below hers but not the six that are above! Well, until today. Georgie decides to take a little detour while on her way down to the dining hall for breakfast. She has a whole elevator to herself because D’Arcy and the others are still getting ready, and it is so damn boring just waiting around all the time!

So, she reaches the seventh floor for the very first time, unmarked territory but all she sees of it is the number 7 displayed on the LED screen. If only this was a completely glass elevator that didn’t just go up and down. Left and right, even diagonally with a little loop de loop thrown in there. Just like …The Great Glass Elevator book that she read the blurb of in the library yesterday.

But this is no fancy elevator, it just takes her to number 8 and then it stops at number 9. She didn’t plan on sharing this elevator journey with anyone else, she hopes they don’t mind going all the way up before going back down again. The doors slide open and a guy steps in, Kristof Parks. Someone she knows the name of but hasn’t met, until now.

Georgie shuffles closer to the buttons and quickly hits the >< shut door button. ”I hope you don’t need to be anywhere soon, we’re going for a ride!”

The elevator flies up to the next few floors and hits 12. Quite literally. It jolts once it reaches the top floor, Georgie catches herself against the floor as her balance is knocked sideways. She expects the doors to open and for someone else to join them but nothing. Quite literally nothing, there is no movement from the elevator and all the buttons are still lit up.

”Well. I really do hope you have nowhere to be because I think we’re stuck!” Georgie says as she hits the emergency bell button but nothing seems to happen.
