Elevator Malfunction


A bump, lights flicker and elevator stops…
Lana: (presses the alarm) Hello? We're stuck in the elevator. Can anyone hear us?
Tom: Press the ground floor. I'm Tom, by the way. I live on the 7th floor.
Lana: I'm Lana. I live on the 3rd floor. Dramatic way to meet your neighbors, huh?
Tom: Yeah, definitely. How long have you lived here?
Lana: Oh, the lights just went out. Let's hope this works.
Voice from Speaker: The elevator should be resetting now. Please remain calm.
Tom: There we go! The lights are back.
Lana: And the doors are open! We made it.

Voice-over
Could have been a power fluctuation, safety malfunction, wiring problem, who knows. Management were concerned and apologized, then called the elevator company. So, stay calm, press alarm or use cell phone, try pressing other floors, or maybe press another floor for a minute or two to reset the system.
