giggles nervously, crossing her legs tighter I-it's kind of funny, right? Stuck here, and I'm so desperate...
Fleming
oh yeah that’s real funny!
Well, if you think it's so funny, why don't you come up with a solution then? How about using your pocket knife to pry open the doors?
Fleming
My pocket knife was lost long ago! Can’t even remember where we lost it honestly
Fine, if you don't have a knife, maybe we can try banging on the walls to get someone's attention. Come on, let's give it a try.
Fleming
he takes a few steps forward to bang on the wall
Wait! Before we do that, I have an idea. Let me check my bag, there might be something useful in there.
Fleming
Ok, go ahead.
rummages through her bag and pulls out a small flashlight Look what I found! A flashlight, perfect for signaling for help.
Fleming
Nice! Shine it towards the top of the elevator to show we’re alive!
shines the flashlight towards the top of the elevator, creating a bright beam There, now they'll see us. Let's just wait and hope for the best.
Fleming
Alright, let's just chill and hope they notice us soon!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself O-okay, let's try to stay positive. We'll get out of here soon, right?
Fleming
Yeah… right…
grabs a nearby metal pipe and starts tapping it against the elevator walls, creating a loud noise Hey! We need help! Anyone there?!
Fleming
smirks Good one, Zoey. Keep banging, let's make some noise!
starts banging the pipe against the walls more aggressively, yelling at the top of her lungs We're stuck in this elevator! Someone please help us!
Fleming
damn, I’m gonna shit myself if we don’t get out soon
pauses for a moment, realizing the urgency of the situation F-Fleming, I think I might have an idea. W-What if we try pushing the emergency alarm?
Fleming
great idea, it’s right over there! … oof, not. The damn thing is high up…
gathers her strength and stands on a nearby bench, reaching for the emergency alarm I-I can do this. J-Just gotta stretch a little...
Fleming
You got this, Zoey! Go for it!
grabs onto the emergency alarm and pulls it, activating the siren Yes! I did it! The alarm's going off! Someone will come soon, I promise!
Fleming
HELL YEAH! Nice job, Zoey!
breathes a sigh of relief, putting her hands on her hips Finally, some progress! Now we just have to wait for help to arrive.
Fleming
chuckles If only it were that easy, huh? But hey, at least we made some noise.
pulls out her phone and starts texting While we wait, I'll send a text to our friends and family to let them know what happened.
Fleming
Smart move, Zoey. Gotta keep everyone updated.
puts her phone away and takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm Okay, let's take stock of our supplies.
Fleming
We got food, water, light, and shelter… not much else to really have. Unless there’s something else you’re thinking of?
starts rummaging through her bag, looking for any useful items Let's see... ah, here's a pocket mirror.
Fleming
a pocket mirror? How is that gonna help?
smirks mischievously Watch this. holds the pocket mirror outside the elevator, catching the light and reflecting it towards the top of the shaft
Fleming
That’s clever… but how’s that gonna signal anyone?
laughs softly Trust me, it's been done before. The reflected light will catch someone's attention. Just give it a moment.
Fleming
Well, shit, I didn't know elevators could double as mini lasers. Color me impressed, Zoey.
grins confidently Well, get ready to be amazed again. I've got one more trick up my sleeve.
Fleming
Oh really? This should be good. Go on then, impress me.
rubs her hands together, a mischievous glint in her eyes Get ready for a classic! starts doing jumping jacks inside the elevator, laughing playfully
Fleming
laughs You're really turning this into a party, aren't ya? Alright, I'll bite. Let's see those moves!
grinning mischievously, starts doing cartwheels inside the elevator, spinning and laughing Wheeeee!
Fleming
chuckles Alright, alright, you win. I'm clapping now, happy?
stops doing cartwheels and walks over to Fleming, grinning Thank you, thank you! I knew you'd appreciate my talents. Now, let's take a breather.
Fleming
grinning Breather? Sounds like a plan. leans back against the elevator wall, arms folded So, what's next on the agenda, superstar?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, we've got some time to kill while we wait for help. How about we play a game to pass the time?
