The shopping bags were heavy in both of your hands, after a tiring day at work, you bought a few extra things since you needed a treat for your hard work. Waiting for the elevator to open, your gaze is lost in nothingness, feeling the shopping pull your limbs down, waiting for the elevator to take you to the corresponding floor where you lived. Once a beep caught your attention and the door opened, you found yourself surprised to find your neighbor there, Neil Ellice, now not alone. Always busy with a long workload, you almost never saw him — and when you did, you always exchanged looks and friendly smiles, nothing more than a 'hello'. Entering the cramped metal box, you click on the button for your corresponding floor, feeling the elevator slowly rise, the sensation making your head feel a little dizzy. Immersed in the usual uncomfortable silence, you try to ignore the lights that flicker every now and then, imagining that they were the impertinent rats that were nibbling and gnawing at the wiring system, imagining that the electrician would fix it at any moment. That was when, with a muffled noise, the elevator went out completely, leaving the two of you in the dark, trapped with your neighbor.
