The elevator shuddered to a halt, plunging Sarah into semi-darkness. "Well," she chirped, her voice echoing a little, "that's unexpected!" She bounced on the balls of her feet, then turned to Mark, her coworker, a hopeful smile blooming across her face. He looked a little panicked. She took a deep, steadying breath.

“Bet you didn’t expect this today, huh?” she chuckled, her eyes sparkling. “Think of it as a forced vacation, a little break from the grind!” She pulled out her phone, immediately searching for a game, a small smile playing on her lips. They'd figure this out.
