A Forum Game: Stuck in an Elevator


You're stuck. You innocently went into this elevator:

And suddenly, the elevator jerked to a stop.
The buttons don't work.
There is no phone.
Uh oh.
How do you get out????
Tell us all about it. We'd like to know, since we're stuck in there, too, and haven't got a freakin' clue!!
How to get out of this elevator???

Who farted? That is NOT cool!

Abigail said...

What is this elevator? For that matter, what am I doing here. I don't even know what a phone is!

Galadriel said...

Ask me later, Abigail. Do I have anyone who might actually be in an elevator...suppose not

Cassandra said...

Um, how about we use the trap door on the ceiling?

Calvin Mertz said...

Yes, open the door in the ceiling. I'll boost you up Cassandra.

I gotta get out of here . . Now. Someone, bang on the door. Scream. Who's a good screamer.

You ready Cassie?

Candy said...

I've always avoided elevators for fear this could happen! I have claustrophobia and if I don't get out of here I'll go bonkers. I'm just going to hunker down on the floor and shut my eyes until someone rescues us.

Ginger said...

Relax, everyone. I'll just use my cell phone to call 911.

Olivia Harper said...

While we wait for our rescuers, anybody care for some gum? That always calms me.

Ginger said...

Yes, thank you Olivia. You know, I've been spending so much time with the Trevets lately, that I thought you said "gun" at first. (laughs)

Olivia Harper said...

Oh, Ginger, that's too funny. Nope, no gun here. Sounds like a bad idea in a cramped elevator - especially with an angry midget in our midst.

Stan the Fireman said...

Hang on folks, this is the fire department. We're getting you out.

(The elevator starts moving back to the ground floor. The doors open, revealing several hunky firemen.)

Is everyone all right in here?

Stan said...

(bends over Candy) Miss, are you okay?

Mike said...

(guiding people out. Sees Abigail looking frail and lost)

Are you okay, Miss?

Bret said...

(to Calvin) Sir, you look a little pale. Why don't you just step over here and let me check you, allright?

Don't like elevators much, do you buddy? (smells the pot smoke on his clothes and grimaces slightly)

Aidan said...

Here's an idea. Don't take elevators. Total death traps.

Candy said...

Whew! I thought we'd never get out! I made it though without making too much of a fuss, didn't I. You were all so calm. Hey, that fireman was kind of cute!

Calvin Mertz said...

(needs another joint after freaking out . .)

Thank God you guys got here. Never mind the check up, just give me some space to breathe.

Stan said...

(to Candy) Yeah, well you're pretty cute yourself. What's your name?

Bret said...

(to Cal) Just take it easy.

(steps back) You're fine. Take all the space you want. (nods at Mike to come over and back him up)

Mike said...

(to Abigail) Excuse me a moment. Just stay there and don't move, alright? I'll be right back.

(under his breath to Bret) We got a live one here?

Nutmeg Cross said...

Uh-oh, Cal. Those firemen seem a bit too interested in you. Hope you make it outta this okay.

Candy said...

Hush, Nutmeg, these guys just saved our lives! Hey Stan, we really are grateful. Maybe you could give me a hand here, my legs seem cramped from crunching down on the floor for so long. I'll be okay in a minute.

Stan said...

Sure thing. (puts an arm under her and helps her up) I wouldn't say we saved your lives, except from being really bored. Better?

(winks at Nutmeg) She's the one who said I was cute.

Aidan said...

How come there are no hot GIRL firefighters?

This rescue sucks.

Daryl Harper said...

Yeah, I second that, Aidan.

Ginger said...

Because you're married, Aidan.

But I did see a cute EMT outside, Darryl.

Aidan said...

I'm married, Ginger. I'm not blind.

Ginger said...

I'll be sure to tell Marenya that next time I see her.

Aidan said...

Now you're just TRYING to get me in trouble, Ginger.

Ginger said...

(grins) No, I think you do a pretty good job of that yourself.

So what are you doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?

Nutmeg Cross said...

I was going to say the same thing, Ginger, but I didn't want to be accused of being a snarky teenager.

Aidan said...

Yeah, um.

Seer.

Telepathy.



Don't take elevators. I'm just saying.

Ginger said...

You can snark at Aidan all you want, Nutmeg. He's used to it.

Abigail said...

I'm fine...I just am not accustomed to elevators. Thank you for the timely rescue.

Nutmeg Cross said...

Thanks, Ginger. I'll keep that in mind. :-)
