                                                                                          STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR 

                                                                                      By: Carlos

                                    One day I was eating my great grandma’s pancakes because I slept over her house. Then after minutes eating my pancakes, my mom called for some breakfast. So my grandma called me,” get dressed and give this pancakes to your mother”. I replied “but grandma”. In a strong voice “now” so I got dress, and then went to push the button to call for the elevator.  After a few minutes the elevator came. When I got on I push the button to go to the 38 floor, but the elevator went down to the first floor.                                                                                                                      

When the elevator door opened and a woman came in and push her floor. Then the elevator got to her floor, with a lot of shakes, stops in between the first floor and her floor. The elevator door open and when she was walking out she mumble under her breath “I hate this elevator”. Then I thought “if this elevator can make it to this floor it can make it to the 38 floor”. The elevator started to move when it got to the 35 floor it started to shake, stop, and go up down.                                                                                                                                        

When it got to the 38 floor, the elevator did not stop and it went to 43 floor with a lot more shakes, stops, and the elevator went up floors and down floors. Then it stops between the 43 floor and the roof. Inside I cried saying “why God? Why did you do this to me?”. Then I turned my head to the pancakes but I thought “no am not in the mood for pancakes”. Then after three hours the firefighter came to get me out. When I got to the first floor my grandma hugged me with the cup of honey in between us and it got all over me. Then my grandma said that the security people said that it was not working. I learned that my day that I should always trust my instincts.
