HUMAN ERROR

HUMAN ERROR

Hey Mack do you ever get the feeling you forgot to do something?

Sure, sometimes it takes awhile but, you remember it...

Eventually...

How's the repair coming Mack?

Almost got it...

Did you press the stop button? 

Yes, of course I did...

We're on the top floor...

We need to fix this elevator, otherwise we will have to take the stairs...

The bell rings...

The elevator door opens...

People come out and others go in...

Second floor...

Third floor...

People go out...

Others come in...

No one notices at first...

Has the building lost power?

Rising up to the eighth floor...

The elevator comes to a stop...

The door doesn't open...

They realize they are stuck between floor seven and eight...

Emergency button is pressed...

Help is on the way...

There's just a little time before the elevator plummets to the ground floor...

People try to find another way out...

The elevator makes a noise as it begins to move...

We're going up someone said...

​​​The elevator let's loose...

We're falling fast! Someone yelled...

People began to panic...

There's no time to panic someone said...

Are we going to die?

Just then the elevator crashed hard...

The building shook...

There were no voices from within...

Where is the OUT OF ORDER Sign?

I told you I thought I was forgetting something Mack...

How are we going to explain this?

Simple, we'll just call it human error...

Thank you Ruth for your inspiration...

Hello Greg...

I remember being in one of those of style elevators when I was younger with the elevator person that closes the gates...

My dad laughed at me because I was good with taking the stairs...

I understand my friend...

Thank you for sharing your ordeal...

I don't blame you one bit...

I can imagine you at an amusement park...

I probably wouldn't be able to do anything else, but laugh...

The only people to be banned for having too much fun!

Thank you for your comment and support!

Hello Jai...

Remember it's not the fall that gets you it's that sudden stop...

Ride anything at our own risk...

Thank you for your comment and support! 

In case you ever wondered who pressed all the buttons at once that was me when I was tall enough to reach them all...

I haven't done it in a long time since I found out they can actually fall...

:)

Hugs and Best wishes to you!

Hello Greg...

Kids think they're indispensable...

If we don't see the dangers for kids they're not going to see them either...

You can tell a child not to do something, some do it anyway...

Very tragic but, true reality you shared...

Thank you again...

Hugs...

I finally figured out how to find your poem. I am guessing the elevator is not only an elevator.

whats funny is that the three stairs up I have to walk is making me move to an apartment with an elevator.
