The elevator.



The elevator.

I had a fear to use,
the elevator of our building
as it was not only dirty and gloomy
but also creaking sound was producing.

So when I went to school,
i used the stairs.
I never thought of using the elevator
as it was a matter of no.of fears.

But unfortunately oneday,
I had right leg ache.
I had no alternative,
except to use the fake.

That day I was alone.
So from the beginning,
i was little bit shaky
and I was also quivering.

Suddenly the elevator was stopped,
on the way with a jerk,
I came to know
there was a machine break.

So I was locked in the elevator.
I started to perspire
as I was alone
and couldn't find any one to share.

Out of fear and panic,
I was shrieking
and from the bottom,
the lift man was assuring.
 
I was almost swooning
and got goose bumps in fear.
After getting free,
I never went near.
