The Day When The World Stopped

Can you imagine the day after the earth stopped moving? Well, the situation is something similar when you are stuck in the lift. I have suffered from this situation for two hours. This is hard to believe, right? I hope nobody should experience this.
I still remember that unfortunate morning. After saying goodbye to my mother, I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw the lift door open for me. I hopped in and the lift started cruising from the thirtieth floor. The lift was going down but my spirits were high.
Suddenly, I felt the lift slowing down and coming to a halt. The lights above flickered and then fused. I almost got freaked out! Then I remembered what my friend did when he got stuck in the lift. I slowly pressed the alarm button and immediately let go after the lift started making some sound. Can you believe that? I even got scared by the lift sound. I mustered up my courage and pressed the lift button for about ten minutes.
Then, to my relief I heard someone saying,” Boy, I have already called the lift people so do not be scared. They are on their way.”

I said ok and after an hour, the lift people arrived and pushed the door open. I walked out of the lift after thanking them and made my way to my house. My mother, who was surprised to see outside the door, asked me why I was not in school. I told her I got stuck in the lift and related the whole incident to her. I, being such a scary cat, decided to always take the stairs from that day onwards. I hoped I would never get stuck in the lift.
After a few days later, I remembered that my hand phone was in my pocket and I could have used it instead of waiting for an hour. I realized how foolish and dumb I was! This incident will forever be etched in my memory.
