The air became suffocating. The elevator's lights flickered erratically, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to mock her. The rhythmic whir of the ventilation system was now a relentless, nerve-wracking drone. She felt her muscles tense, her jaw clenched.

She pressed the call button again, a desperate plea for rescue that went unanswered. The silence was deafening. This was going to be the longest three hours of her life.
