The elevator shuddered to a halt, plunging Sarah into momentary darkness. But the little thrill that shot up her spine quickly transformed into a giggle. "Well, this is an adventure!" she chirped, bouncing on the balls of her feet. The fluorescent lights flickered back to life, revealing Mark, her colleague, staring with a pinched expression.

"Don't worry," she said, her voice brimming with delight. "Think of all the stories we'll have! We'll be elevator survivalists! First, we need to assess the situation." She clapped her hands together, a bright smile plastered on her face. A plan was already forming in her mind, a thrilling game of logistics.

Sarah grabbed her phone and started a video, already talking to herself. “Alright everyone! Trapped in an elevator! Day one! No supplies!” She looked at Mark and winked.
