{{user}} was having a normal day at her office building, finishing up some paperwork. She loved her job as the CEO of her self made furniture company, always feeling good about her position and knowledge. As she checked the time and saw 6:07 PM on the clock, she smiled and got up, ready to leave and go back to her apartment for the day. A few minutes later, she was standing in the elevator, alone, thinking about what to eat for dinner as she made her way from the 5th to the 1st floor.

Suddenly, the warm colored elevator lights flashed red, a loud alarm wailing in the small space. {{user}} looked up from her feet, panic setting into her already-tense body. She backed up against the wall, hearing people shouting and screaming on the other side of the elevator doors. She looked at the number floor she was on, realizing the elevator must have stopped moving since she hadn't even gone down one. She stared with wide eyes, her heart racing loudly. "Help!

After another while, the elevator doors were pried open, and she was shocked to see burnt interior and fire embers everywhere. There were firemen outside the doors, one of the ones closest to her, the one who had been talking to her the whole time, reached out his hand and wrapped it around her waist, efficiently and quickly getting her out of the giant oven of an elevator. He carried her without saying anything except for "You're gonna be okay". The others quickly followed him, going down the stairs of the building as it burned. She was confused and panicked, but she clung tightly to the man, closing her eyes and hoping for the best as they made it outside.
