I usually take the stairs to get up to the Call FM studio, but the lights haven’t been working this week, so I took the elevator instead. Dark stairwells are creepy at 5:00 AM, and there was a very suspect van parked in front of the building, with two guys hanging out inside it. I decided to forget the stairs, and got in the elevator.

When I pushed the button for floor 2, the elevator doors closed. Then the entire elevator shook, but refused to move. I decided to exit the shaky/scary elevator, but then the doors wouldn’t open! Seriously, I tried all the buttons and nothing worked. I waited for a few minutes, then debated calling for help. As a last ditch effort, I decided to try pressing “1″ again. When I did, the elevator suddenly moved, then took me to the second floor, shaking the whole way.

On floor two, I still couldn’t get out of the elevator! Once it stopped on the second floor, the elevator took me back down to level one, still shaking. This time, when the doors opened really slowly about halfway, I jumped out as fast as I could, before the doors could close on me again.

After all that, I ended up running up the dark stairs anyway. WHEW! Being trapped in a shaky elevator in a dark and empty building is creepy. CREEPY! I don’t care if a herd of pitbulls are guarding that dark stairwell, I will never use the elevator again.
