CSH   Choose Your Own Friggin' CSH Adventure
Back to the Beginning -- About

That's it. You've had enough. This is just a one obnoxious floor, and you don't want any part of it. You walk into the elevator lobby, press the "Down" button and wait for Margaret. Margaret. What kind of a name is Margaret for an elevator goddess? Geez, these people are freaks. You kick the doors with impatience in your haste to exit.

The doors to the elevator door open, you walk inside, and you press the button for the first floor lobby. The doors close, but instead of going down, you can feel the elevator going up. What's going on? It's probably just the dumb elevator screwing up again. Damn RIT, Damn CSH, Damn this elevator. The numbers "ping" at every floor until the highest one is reached. The elevator stops but the doors don't open.

Now you're beginning to feel claustraphobic. After banging on the doors, the entire elevator floor drops three inches and stops again. All you hear is a creaking noise. The numerical display still reads "8". Seconds pass in silence.

Without warning, the elevator starts a freefall, plummetting faster and faster. As each floor whisks by, you hear a "ping". The last thing you see is "A" before you and the elevator become a singular heap of human, concrete and metal.

Although you may not have retrieved the yearbook, at least you learned one thing in your short existence:

Don't ever piss off Margaret.
