The way to hell
is through an elevator
Come on in
There's room to spare
The elevator door
stands open and ready
waiting for its passengers
Its stopped on this floor
for only a minute
before it continues
its trek onward and down
to where someone is waiting
to board
From the top floor it goes
descending evermore
collecting its victims
every stop on the way
finally the door closes
for the last time on a floor
of the hotel we are sitting in
waiting for judgement day
It sinks  down below
to where the party of life
will be continued for eternity
all the invitees are here
yet still there's room to spare
but be assured it will be filled
on this elevator ride
thats going to hell.

Remember:Tuck your chin, you're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You might as well see it coming.
-Elizabeth Haydon, Requiem for the Sun

that was an intriguing take on an old urban legend, i liked it.
