Stuck

I look at him.

He looks at me.

We're both holding back laughter.

The elevator doors won't open,

And worse than that,

We're stuck in here

With a lot of other

Random

People

Who we don't know!

I'm not a claustrophobic person

But a lot of people look sort of panicked.

Awkward silence

Fills the elevator.

Minutes pass.

Okay, ha-ha, universe, we get it...

Super funny.

I start laughing

As I do in awkward situations

And my friend does too

And everyone else joins in.

We begin to chat

And make connections

While pressing random buttons.

Let us out! I think. Let us out!

We're hopelessly

Completely

Stuck

But it's not terrible.
