There were five
of us in that
elevator
that dropped
It was
an everyday day
good weather
high hopes
busy
ambitious
impatient
unintelligible
We all ended our day
at the same time
which was why
five strangers
were in
that elevator
that #Monday
.

The doors closed
that #Monday
but nothing happened
He jammed the close button
The other grumbled,
some version
"Always when
your trying to
get home"
The doors
opened
closed
the elevator jumped
we froze
a collective intake
waiting
then we fell
.

we braced ourselves
and each other
one screamed
another managed
to hit the alarm
but it keep going
alarm screaming
us screaming
twenty stories
an impossibly
fast drop in
slow motion
three of us
on the floor
clutching
the handrail
then it was
black

dark
numbing
abyss
encroached
till awareness ceased
.
.
.
it was the beeping
that broke through first
.
.
.
slow, groggy
consciousness
"I'm alive?"
.
.
.
I moved fingers
blinked my eyes
dig in my nails
I could feel
I'm alive

afraid,
i played
what could i feel
head
shoulders
knees
and toes
my chest hurt
with each inhale
wheezing each exhale
a bed was
felt beneath me
finally i worked
to focus
to see
what i
could see
and there
they were
waiting
