11

Staring at 11 of the 11th floor

Two strangers
Standing at the elevator door

Waiting

No words

I find that to be an uncomfortable silence.

Eleven is an interesting choice.

Hum -- 11 is usually a lucky number, right?!  Maybe the strangers won't remain that way?!  Interesting writing.

Look at the number 11
Doesn't it look like 2 people
with their heads raised
and the chins up?

Awkward is right.
Once the silence started,
it's like that.

No words, but
it doesn't mean
there is nothing
to say.
Who knows
what's going on
in their minds.

iliana:

You are right, "strangers" was not the right word here, I changed it to "homo sapiens".
