You know the drill. Go to Rochelle’s Addicted to Purple site. Look at the weekly picture and write a 100 word story about it.

Up and down, down and up, that’s all I’ve done almost since that Otis guy invented my older brother. It can be boring. There are those times when I just want to try sideways for a change.
OWW! Watch that thumb, fella. Push the button gently! You don’t have to mash it. I won’t move any more quickly. I’ve been to the fifth floor; it’s boring.
Oh no, here comes “The Kid.” You know, we don’t have to stop at every floor! Where’s your mother?
I think I’ll unhitch my cables, and just go lurk in the basement for a while.
This is the best! 101 words in the words of an elevator. You rock at this.

Glad you liked it. I didn’t think I had when I started. I’m pleasantly surprised, but I’m gonna have a look at this week’s pic and see what happens. 😀

When all other creativity fails, fall back on comedy. I’m pleased you approve. 😆

Love the elevator’s perspective! (and it made me chuckle). … Thanks for stopping by during my absence.

BrainRants mentioned an alcoholic who peed in it. These are just a few of the other indignities foisted upon poor, defenseless elevators. 😯

Dear Archon,
It appears that i missed this entry…probably due to my accidentally posting a day early this week…in welcoming you to Friday Fictioneers.
Interesting POV. Good voice.
Shalom,
Rochelle

So, I finally made it to your Flash Fiction bits. And I’m very happy to say that the destination is worth it. Prepare for an onslaught of commentary… 😉

Lay on, MacDuff. I’m tough enough…to take it.
BTW; Sorry about the posts where photos had disappeared. In a blur of OCD, I thought I’d erase some from the WordPress cache to make room for new ones I was adding, not realizing that that would also remove them from posts they were anchored to. I quickly stopped when I realized what I was doing. You’re about the only person who’s gone far enough back to be affected. 😆
