The Elevator

Doors closed, I was alone, and  focused on the mechanical symphony in the background. 

I heard the strings get tense the bell go and the cogs rotate, 

Lights twitched and I felt the pull of the world around me.

I feel the unusual passage of time, the strange smell in the air.

I'm trapped. 

Lights go out, I start to panic.

I reach forward but I find No buttons, 

Space shrinks, I taste dirt.
