This is a TRUE STORY.
Yesterday we watched the Vagina Monologues in the FBR building right across admu. everything was going okay until we rode in the elevator. the show was in the roofdeck.
i think we were 12, all cramped in one TINY elevator. (Think... ica conference room bathroom without the shower part) We went up to the second floor (okay.. safe and sound), but that took us like 2 mins. and then, the doors closed again, and i pressed D for deck AGAIN. i think i must have pushed it a hundred times because it felt like we weren't moving. Finally, we felt that we were slightly going up. and then we stopped AGAIN. i started to press any button in the damn elevator board, including the emergency bell button. well, it didn't work either.
i said, out loud. "Dude, we're screwed." And there was a moment of silence.
Tiff: We're gonna die!
Anjo: I think we are. Nooo! *keeps pressing the emergency button*
guy in the back of the elevator: holy shit. this is the funniest thing ever.
Wy: don't you think it's funny that there's a picture of Jesus and Mother Mary in this elevator?
Pao: Dude, i'm too young to die!
Maikee: We're so going to die.
Me: Wouldn't be so cool if the next time the door opens, we'll get out in hell? like everything outside this stupid elevator are like flames and stuff?
Tiff: We're gonna die!
Anjo: Hey! why don't we all jump at the same time, maybe we'll go down a floor or something.
Me: yeah, seriously? and crash in the basement, then we'd really die. How about someone climb up the elevator? didn't they do that in the movies or something?
Girl from the back: you know, i heard they had a problem with this elevator yesterday.
Pao: thanks for telling us when we're in the freaking elevator already.
Maikee: oh oh! Check your phones! Maybe we can call for help!
* everyone brings out their phones*
Pao: f**king sh*t! for all the times not to have signal!
Tiff: Gonna die!
another guy from the back': Pare! What a night!
Wy: We're not gonna die!
*the elevator opens... TO A WALL.
Me: oh my god. that was a wall, right??? *still pressing the buttons*
girl from the back: this is not a good time to die.
* we hear people outside
everyone: HELp! Help!
Anjo: Satan?
Wy: Duh, Jesus!
Me: I think that this is the best -worst thing to happen in my life. this is so going on my list of unforgettable stuff.
wy: can't you just feel the oxygen depleting already?
Maikee: We're going to die.
*Suddenly, two grubby hands try to open the elevator door, but closes again.
Me: i bet we're in the middle of two floors.
And then, more people's hands try to open the door. Yay! they succeed. turns out, i'm right. we're in between the second and the third floor of this ugly-ass bulding.
The top part / third floor is super eerie dark. and the second floor's a spa.
And then, one by one, we all jumped from the elevator too the second floor. it was really high, like as tall as a person. i think i was the only one who hesitated, because i didn't want my head to be cut off if they police people suddenly won't be able to take the elevator doors slamming shut. i think someone pushed me from behind, so i jumped. heehee.
because we didn't want to ride another elevator, we ran up the stairs instead. and that was when i had the most surreal experience. We we're running up, and i saw benj, and papa and some other people i didn't know, and they we're looking at us. the funny thing is, i already had a dream about this. the exact same thing, down to the clothes of the people, the narrow staircase and the gates to the deck. everything. nothing was out of place. only, i woke up when i reached the top and said hi to papa.
that's why i believe that some of my dreams really really come true. it's so cool, yet so disturbing.
so there. that was my night last night. my near death experience, my brush with the end.
