Chapter 11: The Elevator

Ladybananas244 Mystery / Thriller 19 Jul 2026

You wake up. Quite jarringly, in fact. Your head hurts, and you seem to be in a polished metal box. There's a set of doors on one side, but no doorknob. Right next to the door, there's a small panel. It has half a dozen buttons, labeled 1-6.

The button with the number 6 looks as if it's out of order. The button is hanging out of the socket by a red wire.

You're sure you've been in a place like this before, but you seem to remember it moving. Yes, these things are supposed to move. This one must be stuck. Call for help? Yes, you can call for help. But... how? You have no way to contact any people, and the elevator has nothing but the doors and the buttons.

Maybe you should press one.

Chapter 22: The Center of the Earth

You press all five buttons, then jam the number 6 button back into the socket and press that one too. Maybe that wasn't the best idea. You are thrown to the floor as the elevator lurches upward, then you are flattened against the roof as it begins to plummet downwards.

Finally, the elevator slams to a halt abruptly, after seemingly forever. The doors slide open to reveal a tiny glass room. On all four sides, there is nothing but magma. Where are you now, and what have you done?

What happens in the next chapter?

This is the end of the narrative for now. However, you can write the next chapter of the story yourself.
