✍️Day 24 — What Would Happen In An Elevator
If you put two people who hate each other in it for 12 hours
At first, James and Dan didn’t talk. They just kept using their phone, browsing Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, sending Snapchat saying they’ve been stuck in an elevator and no one was answering the call.
About 3 hours later, both their phone ran out of battery. They started staring at the ceiling of the elevator and still said nothing. Though there was air coming from the cracks, it started getting hot inside.
They both wanted to blame each other for locking themselves in the elevator but when they were about to do it, they stopped. “Don’t waste time fighting with that as****e.”
James still had some water in his bottle so he drank some. But Dan had nothing but his cellphone. He was getting thristy too.
Another 3 hours passed. James saw Dan staring at him when drinking. He thought for a while and handed out the bottle.
“Um” said he.
Dan took the bottle and had some. “Thanks.”
Until the moment they got rescued, they didn’t say another word to each other. Maybe they just hated each other so much to the degree of not bothering speaking. But when it came to survival, they could compromise a little.
