  “No,” I nodded as I gasped for air, “Of course not.” He sighed and walked away. It was six in the morning, almost time for school. I got ready and started walking towards the demonic elevator. I waited for the fat lady to appear. Wide eyed with fear, the anxiety haunted me more than the dream; or at least I think it was a dream. I was relieved to find that no one came through the elevator doors. I walked out in peace and wondered, “What,” thoughts swirled through my head, “How...Who…” But after all, it was Halloween, the most haunting hour of all.

¨Hello,​ ​Martin,´.​ ​She​ ​said,​ ​and​ ​laughed,​ ​and​ ​pushed​ ​the​ ​stop​ ​button,​ ​Once​ ​Martin​ ​had​ ​fully​ ​taken​ ​in​ ​that​ ​the​ ​lady​ ​was 

back​ ​and​ ​she​ ​stopped​ ​the​ ​elevator​ ​​ ​​ ​he​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​remain​ ​calm​ ​not​ ​knowing​ ​what​ ​do​ ​or​ ​say​ ​he​ ​started​ ​simply​ ​with​ ​a 

¨who​ ​are​ ​you​ ​and​ ​what​ ​do​ ​you​ ​want¨​ ​she​ ​replied​ ​with​ ​i​ ​am​ ​your​ ​fear​ ​i​ ​know​ ​you're​ ​scared​ ​of​ ​the​ ​elevator​ ​so​ ​i​ ​want​ ​to 

make​ ​you​ ​even​ ​more​ ​sacred​ ​until​ ​you​ ​face​ ​me.​ ​Martin​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​cry​ ​but​ ​he​ ​was​ ​sacred​ ​to​ ​the​ ​point​ ​where​ ​he​ ​couldn't 

so​ ​´what​ ​can​ ​i​ ​do​ ​he​ ​thought¨​ ​,´i​ ​can​ ​be​ ​a​ ​man​ ​and​ ​face​ ​my​ ​fears​ ​or​ ​be​ ​a​ ​wuss​ ​and​ ​cry​ ​for​ ​help​ ​and​ ​possibly​ ​die´​ ​so 

he​ ​started​ ​to​ ​think​ ​of​ ​possible​ ​ways​ ​he​ ​could​ ​not​ ​run​ ​of​ ​course​ ​(his​ ​leg​ ​was​ ​in​ ​a​ ​cast)​ ​but​ ​he​ ​could​ ​try​ ​to​ ​press​ ​the 

stop​ ​button​ ​again​ ​assuming​ ​the​ ​elevator​ ​would​ ​go​ ​again​ ​being​ ​only​ ​a​ ​few​ ​seconds​ ​from​ ​the​ ​next​ ​floor​ ​if​ ​he​ ​pressed 

it​ ​hopefully​ ​someone​ ​will​ ​be​ ​waiting​ ​to​ ​get​ ​on​ ​the​ ​elevator​ ​next​ ​so​ ​all​ ​he​ ​do​ ​was​ ​press​ ​it​ ​and​ ​hopeso​ ​he​ ​needed​ ​a 

diversion​ ​and​ ​he​ ​thought​ ​of​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​one​ ​suddenly​ ​he​ ​screamed​ ​his​ ​leg​ ​and​ ​she​ ​moved​ ​over​ ​slightly​ ​just​ ​enough 

to​ ​look​ ​at​ ​his​ ​leg​ ​and​ ​that​ ​was​ ​martin​ ​chance​ ​he​ ​leaped​ ​at​ ​the​ ​button​ ​and​ ​pressed​ ​it​ ​and​ ​suddenly​ ​elevator​ ​started 

moving​ ​again​ ​now​ ​actually​ ​in​ ​pain​ ​he​ ​was​ ​a​ ​little​ ​relieved​ ​it​ ​stopped​ ​on​ ​the​ ​next​ ​floor​ ​and​ ​it​ ​was​ ​a​ ​security​ ​guard 

along​ ​with​ ​the​ ​weird​ ​desk​ ​boy​ ​he​ ​saw​ ​every​ ​morning​ ​while​ ​going​ ​to​ ​school.​ ​They​ ​had​ ​come​ ​to​ ​see​ ​what​ ​was​ ​the 

problem​ ​with​ ​the​ ​elevator​ ​and​ ​thanks​ ​to​ ​them​ ​he​ ​was​ ​saved​ ​his.​ ​dad​ ​was​ ​notified​ ​and​ ​his​ ​dad​ ​thought​ ​he​ ​was​ ​a 

disappointment​ ​he​ ​had​ ​been​ ​proud.that​ ​his​ ​son​ ​had​ ​faced​ ​his​ ​fear.

And as for Martin, let's just say he is still in the elevator, that no one takes because of the “Incident”. 

He suddenly felt a drop in his stomach and his leg felt so  much pain. 

He asks without eye contact “ How do you know my name?” The lady then says “ I've been following you, i know where you live and where you go to school… Knowing names of my victims lets me grieve I kill them.”He screamed hoping someone would help him, but nothing happened. “ Poor dad didn't want to listen, who would though? You’re a  young coward at  thirteen years old.” Meanwhile Martin's dad was talking with Terry Ullman, who is very interested in the news, had brought up a story that was breaking news. “ A woman escaped custody of A mental hospital,”  Saying she kills people in the elevators of buildings. First she follows them for a little while, then when she's ready, she’ll get on the elevator and trap them, then kills them” Martin's dad, suddenly gets nervous as he asks “What does she look like? Is she fat?” 

Terry answering,concerned “ yes…, is there something wrong?” 

Martins dad gets up and runs out the door yelling “ MY SON IS IN THE ELEVATOR WITH HER”  The fat lady grabs martin by the arm and takes out a huge knife from her purse. Martin yelling, and crying  says “ Why me?”  The fat lady ignores him and gets the life and cuts his hand off, she then wipes the blood off and eats the hand as if it were regular food. 

Martin in pain slowly loses all contact with his body and drifts off in the darkness. He wakes in a hospital,his body aching with all the pain in the world. Nobody's there. The TV is on, and suddenly the fat woman appears and says “ You got away this time... wait till i get you. This isn't over.” Martin screams and wakes in his bed only to realize he was home, safe and sound in his bed.

.No one could hear him because they were in between two floors.Martin tried calling his dad to tell him he needs help ,but there was no service .As the old lady called his name she said “I have a surprise for you”

Martin was so terrified that he fell to the floor.When he fell to the floor the old lady took out a knife .when the red light turned off he saw nothing but pitch black,when the light turned on he saw her closer and it kept going till he felt her close enough to where he could feel her breathing.

The last thing he saw was the light turning off and that’s when she stabbed him to death without stopping.once she was done she pushed to stop button again to let the elevator move.Soon enough the elevator door opened and she pretended like it was a normal day and kept on with her evening .

Its been about five hours stuck in the elevator with her deciving eyes burning right into my soul. My voice is hoarse and tired from yelling so hard. Its been a few hours and finally i feel the elavator move down at a slow pace almost like a snail. I start praying as i think the elevator has givin up and her weight is going to be what plunges us to our death. Suddenly after the painful yet horrifying fall the elevator comes to a stop and i try to look over her head at what floor we were on but i just see her firey red-hot inspecting and examining every last inch of me.

The elevator opens and i see an all black room and then as I look up i see that she has a knife and next thing you know im lying lifeless on the ground as blood is gushing out of all parts of my body. I get up blood running down my body to go get bandages to wrap around me. I turn around to see a mob of lifless people of all ages almost mummy like and all coming towards me. 

“Ahhhhhh!” as i scream in horror. My head bounces up and i see a window. I look around feeling my body as if the holes where blood was gushing were still there. I told my dad everything that happened and he still never belived me but as we were walking to the elevator i saw the woman and vigorusly patted my dads shoulders and pointed in her direction. He said “I dont see anything, stop being so paranoid.” The woman gvae out a small snicker, waved her hand and vanished. Till this day, with my wife and kids  i never saw her again.

“What are you doing?” Martin said fearfully . He was scared that she knew his name but she knew every one of her victims names. Martin did not know this but he would be the next victim and soon claim his own. She reached out a hand and clasped it around his thraot. He could not breathe . The lady waved her hand and a knife appeared out of nowhere and she stabbed him in the chest. The life drained out of his eyes as he collapesed onto the floor. Martin’s body jerked upward and he fell back to the ground . His eyes opened and they flashed pitch black and then back to normal. The lady restarted the elevater and walked out after saying “Welcome Martin. I hope you enjoying killing.” A couple seconds after she left  his dad came in. Marton decided to claim his first of many victims.
