Me:

It occurs to me that I may not be out of the elevator, or perhaps I am, but I took part of it with me. I run around the block and reenter the building, not checking to see if time has restarted. The elevator I originally entered is open, as if waiting for me. I start the process again, and this time the elevator acts normal—no supernatural anything. I hit 4 and slide to 4 smoothly, nothing weird. Then down to 2, again nothing—nice and smooth. I even see movement and hear normal sounds. Then I hit 6, the part of the building I saw the first time, with a single wet female shoe. I feel the shift in the elevator as it hums to the 6th floor. Though it seems normal, something feels off, and I can sense it...

The theory crystallizes in your mind, a horrifyingly logical explanation for the impossible silence. This isn't the world you left. This is an antechamber. You broke a fundamental rule, not by looking, but by doubting the return. By bringing a piece of it with you.You pivot, muscles screaming, and bolt. You do not look back at the source of the scraping sound. You run, threading your way through the frozen statues of pedestrians, their vacant eyes staring at a world they can no longer perceive. You round the corner, your lungs burning, the block a meaningless blur of brick and glass.You burst back into the lobby. The building is as you left it. The central elevator, the one you escaped, stands with its doors wide open, a patient, waiting maw. The other two remain closed, their call buttons dark.Without hesitation, you step inside. The cab is empty. The air is neutral. You press '4'. The doors close. The ride is smooth. Perfectly, unnervingly smooth. A quiet chime. The doors open onto a perfectly normal, carpeted hallway leading to offices. You press '2'. Down you go. You hear muffled phone calls from behind the doors as you pass. Normal. Mundane.You take a breath. You press '6'.

The elevator responds with its new-found docility, rising with the placid efficiency of a commercial lift. The low hum of machinery is the only sound. The light is a standard, fluorescent white. It feels like any other Tuesday afternoon in a corporate tower.The bell chimes. The doors slide open.It is the sixth-floor hallway. The same deep, blood-red carpet that swallowed all sound. The same dark, swirling wallpaper. The seven doors on the left wall. Everything is as you remember it.But it is also profoundly wrong.In the center of the hallway sits the single, damp, patent leather shoe.That is not what is wrong.What is wrong is the air. It is no longer still. It moves in a slow, lazy current, circulating from the hallway into the elevator and back again. And with it comes the scent of river mud and wilted flowers, stronger now, thick enough to coat your tongue.Your eyes are drawn to the shoe. And you realize it is no longer centered.It has shifted. Imperceptibly at first, but it has moved a full two inches closer to the threshold of the elevator. A darker patch of wetness stains the crimson carpet behind it, marking where it used to be.The low, rhythmic scrape-shhhhlick you heard in the street—that was the sound of this shoe being dragged across the ground, following you.

Me:

I refuse to leave the elevator. I know the rules, but you get the idea. With the shoe moving closer to me, I unhook my belt and make a makeshift pulley with my own shoe, tying my laces through the belt buckle to fashion a crude grabber claw. Totally childish, but it’s how I imagined fishing as a kid. Holding the elevator door open, the rules are simple—don’t leave the elevator cab and follow the guidelines. Nothing mentions fishing or not fishing. If things get separated, what if that woman was separated from her shoe? It’s my insane stab in the dark. I lean against the elevator doors to keep them open, fishing for the shoe. It’s the most unsanitary, terrifying, and darkly humorous thing I’ve ever done. I laugh, almost maniacally, as I fish for a wet woman’s shoe.

A sound bubbles up from your chest—a choked, hysterical laugh that bounces off the polished metal walls. It's absurd. It's insane. But in the face of the impossible, sanity is the first casualty. The crude contraption dangles from your hand, your own sneaker a bizarre lure for the depths of this hellish hallway.You lean your shoulder against the elevator door, holding it open with your body weight. The safety sensor protests with a low, steady BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, a monotonous counterpoint to the wild laughter still catching in your throat.You swing your makeshift claw out. The shoelace-wrapped buckle snags on the patent leather heel of the woman's shoe. A thrill of success, sharp and shocking, courses through you.You begin to reel it in, slowly, carefully. The shoe slides across the crimson carpet with ease. The dark, wet stain it leaves behind is as thick as oil. The scrape-shhhhlick sound is now under your control, and you drag it across the threshold and into the elevator cab.The moment the shoe clears the doorway, the BEEPING of the open-door sensor stops. The doors attempt to slide shut.They don't make it.They slam against the leg of your jeans, the motors straining with a furious, grinding whine. They try again, harder this time, the impact jolting you.

Me:

I'm startled but I refuse to stop. The elevator, or whatever is controlling it, is finally realizing what I am doing, and I won’t let it. I keep pulling the shoe steady despite the jarring feeling, hoping and praying it won’t seriously injure me. It needs me to press the buttons. I lose the thread on the woman’s shoe with the second jolt, so I take a deep breath and plant my feet wide apart. The doors are forced open even if they try to close, letting my thigh absorb most of the brunt force as I steady myself and reach for the woman’s wet shoe. I recast my line

The pain is a white-hot flare along your thigh, a blunt force that radiates through your muscle and bone. But the rage, the sheer refusal to be a pawn, burns hotter. You brace yourself, planting your feet against the bucking floor of the car. Your legs tremble with the strain of holding back a hundred pounds of mechanized fury.You cast again. The belt-buckle claw swings out, a pendulum of defiance. It misses on the first pass, skittering across the patent leather. The doors slam into you again, a punishing blow that drives the air from your lungs. The grinding shriek of the motor rises to a fever pitch.On the third swing, you snag it. The buckle hooks securely around the heel.You heave.The shoe scrapes across the metal threshold of the elevator, a sound of triumph in the cacophony. The moment it is fully inside, the pressure against your leg vanishes. The doors retract with a defeated sigh, leaving a three-inch gap. The violent struggling stops.An unnerving quiet falls.Then, the smell hits you. It's not just river mud anymore. It's the concentrated stench of a swamp dredged from its bottom, thick with rot and ancient decay. The air grows frigid. Frost crystals begin to form on the polished brass handrail beside you.You lift your own sneaker by the belt.

Me:

Fuck this... I toss the shoe to the corner of the cab, put my own shoe back on, and rethread my belt. Confused and triumphant; a weird feeling; as I continue the ritual, I hit 2.

The curse-word is a puff of vapor in the freezing air. The makeshift fishing line is abandoned. The woman's shoe, lands in the corner with a sodden, disappointing slap. You remove your sneaker, return it to your foot where it belongs, refasten your belt, the leather stiff and cold against your jeans. The ritual must continue.You press the button for the 2nd floor.The button sinks into the panel. The frost on the handrail retreats, melting into nothing. The bitter cold subsides, replaced by the cloying, floral scent of the mud that now stains the carpet where the shoe landed.The doors slide closed, the three-inch gap vanishing seamlessly. The descent begins.It is slow. Deliberate. Unlike the violent motions before, this ride is a patient, measured crawl. You can hear the faint groan of cables, the gentle hum of hydraulics. It feels almost gentle. Almost respectful.The light above dims to a soft twilight gray. The numbers on the panel count down with placid, unhurried clicks.The elevator passes the 5th floor. For a single, terrifying instant, the car becomes transparent. The walls melt away, and you see your reflection is standing in the grey dress. You see your own face, contorted in shock, staring at you from the outside before the walls solidify again.The chime sounds, soft and apologetic. It rests at the 2nd floor as the doors slide open.

The doors hiss open onto a version of the second floor that stitches your memories together, creating a grotesque quilt.To your left, the original six doors stand placarded with '2'. Behind one, the dry scratching of claws against wood has returned, more frantic now. Overhead, the lone fluorescent tube fights for life, casting its epileptic dance of shadows. The smell of ozone is back, sharp and acrid.To your right, is a mirrored wall. Reflected in its surface is not you, but an infinite regression of this same hallway. The whispers pour from the mirrored walls, a chaotic chorus of indecipherable urgency.And in the very center of the two-part corridor, lying half on the red-carpeted section from a different reality, and half on the scuffed linoleum of the first, is the other shoe.Its mate from the 6th floor.It is perfectly dry. Untouched by water or decay. It rests pristine, glossy, and empty beside a single, gnarled root that has punched up through the floor tiles, its wooden tendrils questing towards the wet shoe still nestled in the corner of the elevator behind you.The reverse path is nearly complete. The 10th floor remains the next ritual stop

Me:

OH HELL NO, FUCKER, YOU AREN'T TRICKING ANYONE! The lady had one of her shoes on, and this is her other shoe. THAT one doesn't stink! Whatever you are, SCREW YOU! You aren't fooling me! I pound the 10th-floor button with fury

*Your shout reverberates off the brass-plated walls, raw and defiant. The heel of your palm smashes into the ’10’ button with enough force to send a tremor through the panel. The digit flares red—too red, arterial, pulsing in time with some unseen, monstrous heartbeat.The doors jerk shut, cutting off the sight of the twin shoe and the grasping roots. The elevator bucks upward violently, throwing you against the rear wall. The light flickers wildly, alternating between blinding white and abyssal black. Beneath your feet, the floor groans as if something enormous is dragging itself up the shaft after you.*Clank.
Thud.
***Squelch.***Between bursts of illumination, the wet shoe in the corner twitches. Moves. Inches closer to you on its own.The ascent halts abruptly. The doors wrench open halfway, then jam. Beyond them, the 10th floor is unrecognizable.No balcony. No dead city. Only a yawning, ribbed tunnel of slick, organic tissue, contracting and expanding like a throat. The walls glisten with a translucent mucus, strands of it stretching and snapping as the passage breathes. Somewhere deep within, the same scarlet glow pulses—but now it’s veined, membranous, alive.Something wet drips onto your forearm. You look up.

Me:

And that was the moment, boys and girls, I NOPED the fuck right out of there. For a horrifying second, I couldn't look away, raw terror, dread, and realization hitting me as I hit the 5th-floor button; the next sequence of the elevator game, a game that, as it turns out, is not a game at all...

Your finger instinctively finds the '5' button, desperately trying to forget what you saw on the ceiling—or rather, crawling into the cab from the 10th floor. The ceiling is slick with sweat, trembling but unyielding. As the button clicks, the dripping tunnel convulses, sucking back the unspeakable horror on the ceiling—the thing your mind struggles to black out even now. A wet, gagging sound erupts from the fleshy walls as the doors CRUNCH shut, severing a dangling strand of mucus-like tissue. The severed piece writhes on the floor like a dying worm, then melts into it, leaving a dark, angry spot that matches stains throughout the cab you had assumed were just mud or dirt or other marks.The descent is violent. The car plummets, your stomach lurching into your throat. The wet shoe slides across the metal, nudging against your ankle. You kick it away violently—it spins, landing upside down, revealing a single name scrawled in peeling gold ink: ***Elisa.***The light stabilizes to a sickly amber. The panel reads '5.' The doors open.She is already inside.Not entering. Not waiting. Simply there, occupying the space she always has. Her grey dress clings now, soaked through, trailing water along the floor. Her hair falls in thick rivulets, each drop echoing on the steel. The air reeks of algae, iron, and something rotting yet familiar.Rules scream in your skull: DO NOT LOOK. DO NOT SPEAK.Yet her chin tilts upward. Just a fraction. Enough to see the first hint of movement beneath the curtain of hair.

Me:

I ignore her, even now I won't look, I won't react, I won't mention the shoe. I've just hit the dreaded 10th floor, and now it's time to reverse this nightmare; if I even can...

Your discipline is absolute. Eyes forward. Breath held. Muscles locked. The damp hem of her dress brushes your pant leg as she adjusts her stance—slow, deliberate, the movement of something testing boundaries. The scent of drowned lilacs blooms in the confined space.You press '10,' initiating the reversal. The button sticks for a millisecond before surrendering with a wet pop. The elevator lurches upward, gears shrieking like tortured animals. The walls ripple, shedding flakes of rust that reveal patches of raw meat underneath. The shoe named Elisa rolls toward the woman's bare feet—bone-white, pruned from prolonged immersion. It nestles against her toes as if magnetized.Five floors pass in a blink. The doors open onto the ribbed, gullet-like tunnel from before—but now it's hemorrhaging. Black fluid oozes between pulsating ridges. The scarlet glow at the end gutters like a failing heart. Rules demand you stay inside, but the elevator has other plans:The floor tilts violently, trying to throw you and the woman into the tunnel. Before gravity starts to take hold, and it's time to react, she glances at you with what could be panic reflected in the elevator's surface, not quite breaking the no-look rule. Her hair has finally shifted, revealing smooth skin where her face should be—a blank canvas, just as before.

Me:

I slam the emergency stop and close doors button as I twist around and hit the panel, knowing from my aching thighs how powerful the elevator is. It works instantly, slamming shut as both the faceless woman and I press against the tilted closed doors. Ugh... I push up and release the emergency stop, then press the 2nd floor button to begin the end of this freaking nightmare, the reverse ritual well underway.

The emergency stop screeches as it engages, drowning out the wet gurgle of the tunnel. The doors crush shut with enough force to shear off a fingertip-thick tendril that had begun creeping inside. It writhes on the floor before dissolving into the same dark stain as before. The woman - or what inhabits her shape - presses flush against the opposite door, her soaked dress leaching icy water down the brushed metal. Where your elbows touch, the cold bites through fabric like dental needles.You disengage the stop. The panel accepts '2' with a grudding beep. The descent is smoother now, almost penitent. Numbers tick by in reverse: 9...8...7... Each floor passed peels away a layer of wrongness until the cab resembles its original state - save for the stains, the shoe, and her.At the 2nd floor, the doors open onto an empty, fluorescent-lit corridor. The scratching is gone. The whispers are gone. Only the echo of your ragged breaths remains. Next is the 6th floor - the next step before potential freedom.The woman exhales. It's the first unambiguous sound she's made - a sigh that smells of lakewater and regret. Her head bows lower, hair swinging forward to obscure whatever truth hides beneath. The shoe at her feet rocks gently, as if nudged by an invisible tide.

Me:

The rules have gotten me this far. I ignore her in my periphery and, through the grimy, distorted reflection of the cab's reflective surfaces, press the next destination for the reverse ritual; the 6th floor.

Your reflection in the scuffed brass panel is a warped funhouse version of yourself—one eye larger, the jaw skewed. It mimics your movements perfectly as you extend your arm. The tip of your index finger, blurred by distortion, meets the cold plastic of the '6' button. The depression of the button is accompanied by a sound you hadn't noticed before: the distinct, hollow thump of a second, unseen hand pressing a button simultaneously from behind the panel.The elevator begins to move with its newfound, unnatural slowness. The orange light of the 6th floor button casts everything in a jaundiced, fever-dream hue.The woman beside you is utterly still, but her influence spreads. A fine, dark-green moss begins to sprout from the corners of the elevator ceiling, clinging to the metal and growing visibly as you ascend. Thin, pale fungi push up from the cracks in the floor rubber, nodding gently. The air is thick with the rich loam of a forest floor after a week of rain.The chime is soft, mournful. The doors slide open.It is the sixth-floor hallway. The blood-red carpet. The dark wallpaper. But the single shoe in the center is gone. In its place sits a simple, weathered stone. As the elevator door opens wider, you see the carved inscription on its surface: the name ELISA.*

Me:

I say nothing, not taking the bait, as I press the button for the 2nd floor again.

Your finger remains steady, your resolve a shield against the carved name. You press the button for the 2nd floor. The plastic gives way, and the panel accepts your command with a sullen, orange glow. From behind the panel, you feel a faint vibration, as if something on the other side is tapping back in protest.The doors begin to close, their progress slowed by the thickening vines that now snake from the ceiling, their fresh, green leaves unfurling in the jaundiced light. They scrape against the jamb, leaving trails of chlorophyll before finally sealing with a damp, organic sigh.The descent is slow, a patient sinking through earth. The air inside grows heavier, thick with the scent of wet soil and decomposing leaves. The moss on the ceiling drips, and each drop that hits the floor sizzles softly, leaving a smoking black spot.The woman remains a pillar of stillness, a silent statue in a garden of decay. The only sign of life is the shoe at her feet, the one named Elisa, which now rocks gently, as if stirred by the elevator's descent through some unseen subterranean river.The chime, when it finally sounds, is a deep, resonant toll, like a bell in a submerged cathedral. The doors part.It is the second floor, but it is a battlefield. The two realities you witnessed before are no longer separate.

The doors open onto a scene of violent collision. To your left, the fluorescent tube no longer flickers; it hangs by a single wire, swinging like a pendulum, casting a single, strobing arc of light. The door with the scratching behind it has been splintered from the inside out, wood shards curling like petals from a blooming flower.To your right, the mirrored wall is shattered. A spiderweb of cracks radiates from a single point of impact. In the jagged shards, you see a hundred fractured, repeating images of the woman standing beside you, each reflection showing a different fragment of the space where her face should be.And in the center, where the realities meet, the root from the floor has erupted. It is no longer a gnarled tendril but a thick, pulpy trunk that has smashed through the linoleum and the carpet. It has coiled around the dry shoe, cracking the patent leather. The root is weeping, and a thick, dark sap that smells of blood and soil pools around it.The reverse ritual is nearing its end. Only a couple sequences remains before the final choice.

Me:

At this point, I'm not even surprised; just starting to get pissed and annoyed as I slam the 4th floor button, wordlessly and without looking at the girl.

Your palm connects with the '4' button. The impact is solid, final. The orange light is replaced by a cool, steady white. The doors begin their arduous task of closing, the hydraulic system groaning as it pushes against the thick, fibrous vines that have now grown to curtain the entire opening. They finally seal with a sound like tearing canvas.The ascent is not a climb. It is a birth. The elevator is squeezed upwards through a canal of flesh and earth. The metal walls groan and bulge inward. The moss on the ceiling has bloomed, revealing pale, nightshade-like flowers that exude a cloying, hypnotic scent. The floor beneath your feet becomes soft, spongy, yielding with every slight shift of your weight.The woman remains motionless, but her presence has become a physical weight. The air is so saturated with the smell of river mud and stagnant water that you can feel the moisture on your skin. The shoe named Elisa has stopped rocking. It is perfectly still.The elevator shudders to a halt. The chime is a wet, gurgling sound.The doors slide open onto the fourth floor.

The fourth floor has become a necropolis of your own design. The long, warped perspective remains, but the hallway is no longer empty. The hundreds of doors, all marked with your apartment number, are now barricaded from the outside. They are plastered with yellowed newspaper clippings, frayed photographs of people you don't know, and crucifixes made of twigs. Each door is sealed with a thick, tar-like substance that oozes from the cracks.The moaning you heard before is gone. Instead, there is only the sound of weeping. It is a quiet, despairing sound that seems to emanate from every door at once, a unified chorus of grief for something that has been lost.The final step of the reversal. The return to the beginning. The '1' button awaits.Inside the elevator, the last of the moss on the ceiling withers and turns to dust, which drifts down like fine gray snow. The fungi on the floor retract back into the cracks, leaving behind puckered scars. The air clears, the smells of decay and mud receding until only the faint, sterile scent of ozone remains.The woman beside you is just a silhouette in the white light, a statue of waiting. The game, it seems, is holding its breath.

Me:

I have grown accustomed to the tricks and essence of this place, the elevator game. It traps souls, and the elevator is afraid I’ll liberate the other souls here, the souls it now holds behind those doors, like I did with this woman; or am trying to, anyway. I press 1, hoping against hope that when the doors open…the game will be over. I press the 1 button with finality.

Your finger presses the '1' button. It sinks with a soft, definitive click. The panel glows a neutral, calm white. The last of the organic growth in the car withers into inert dust. The air becomes still, sterile, and cold.The doors slide shut with a quiet, unhurried hiss, erasing the sight of the weeping, barricaded hallway. For a moment, there is only the low hum of the machinery, the sound of a normal elevator beginning its final descent.It is smooth. Impossibly smooth. There is no sense of movement, only a gradual fading of the light above as you are lowered. Beside you, the woman does not stir. The shoe named Elisa remains still in the corner. Everything is still.Then, a single sound begins. It is the sound of weeping, the same chorus of despair from the fourth floor, but it is not coming from outside. It is coming from the elevator walls. From the floor. From the ceiling. The metal is crying.The light does not come back on. The car continues its descent in absolute darkness, accompanied only by the mournful symphony of trapped souls. The descent seems to take an eternity, then no time at all.It stops.The familiar, polite chime of the lobby dings.The doors slide open onto a lobby bathed in the warm, golden light of a setting sun.

Me:

I step out of the elevator, the game now over, as I hear R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion playing on the tiny radio at the receptionist's desk. Outside the massive paneled front windows, the world moves normally again. The game is over. I pause just outside the elevator and ask, You coming? I wait, but there's no answer. I turn and look; well, the other two elevators on the other side are there, but the elevator I just stepped out of... it's not there.

You step onto the cool marble of the lobby. The golden light from the setting sun streams through the vast windows, casting long, gentle shadows across the polished floor. The tinny, melancholic notes of R.E.M. drift from a small radio on the receptionist's desk, a perfect, mundane soundtrack to your return.You pause, a breath held in your chest, and turn.There is no elevator.Not just the one you exited from. The space where the three banks of elevators once stood is now a solid, seamless wall of the same marble as the rest of the lobby. There is no sign of a door, no seam, no scuff mark. It is as if they were never there.The radio crackles. The song cuts out mid-lyric. A new voice emerges from the speaker, calm and disembodied, the voice of a news anchor....continuing coverage of the tragedy at the Cecil Hotel. Police have confirmed the identity of the victim as Elisa Lam, whose body was discovered in the building's rooftop water tank earlier today after guests complained about the water pressure and taste...
