The fluorescent lights flicker once, twice, then steady. The elevator hums beneath your feet as you step in beside three girls. You press your floor. Halfway up, a violent jolt. The lights cut out, then snap back, dimmer now. The cabin groans to a stop. One girl gasps. Another pounds the panel. The third just stares at the sealed doors. No signal on your phone. No help coming. What happens next?
