elevator fiasco
Elevator Fiasco The hottest day of the decade in Great Britain, everyone is enjoying the sweltering temperature that has taken over the country. ... As we walked towards the stairs, my foot was just about to touch the first step when I heard an elevator chime. I glance round the corner and there was an elevator, I let out a huge sign of relief and walked into the elevator with my cousin. The doors of the elevator closed, the heat inside the elevator was about the same temperature as the entrance. ... All of a sudden the elevator jolted and came to a complete halt, the light inside flickered on and off for two seconds. ... My cousin who was in the elevator with me was asking me what was happening. ... He told us it would take about twenty minutes to get the elevator moving again because the machinery overheated and shut off itself. ... An eternity of thirty minutes later, the elevator slowly started to move about an inch a second. ... My cousin got up as well; he put his cheek and the palms of his hands against the side of the elevator.
