As the minutes ticked by, and the air grew thick with a sense of confinement, Susan found herself examining every detail of the elevator car. The faint scratches on the walls, the slightly crooked numbers on the floor indicator, the dust motes dancing in the beams of light. It was all so… exquisitely ordinary.
