The Elevator

Part One - The City
It was a typical late afternoon in the city. The streets and
sidewalks were busy with traffic, and sky-scrapers lined the
sky for as far as the eye could see. Millions of people still
in there offices doing a normal days work. The weather was
beautiful and the view from corner offices high above were
breath taking. The lives of millions of people were being
lived out day to day. However this was not to be just another
day in the city.
Part Two - Blackout
The hallways of the office building were crowded as they
usually were around late afternoon. Some were leaving work
early, while yet others were coming back from late lunches or
meetings. Yet others were taking a break and enjoying the nice
view from the top floor coffee shop which overlooked the south
side of the city.
Jenna Harrison, a top executive for a well known trading
company began to make her way from the office suite of her
company. She slowly found her way through the densely
populated hallways and got in one of the many long lines for
the elevators. She quickly checked her watch. She seemed to
grow impatient as she stood there in her tan skirt and
professional looking attire. She held a leather briefcase at
her side and seemed to be looking through some papers while
standing there waiting for an elevator to become available.
Susan Anderson, and her 5 year old daughter Liz were sitting
at a table in the cafe. Susan worked for another less well
known company that shared office space on the floor with the
cafe. Her daughter had spent the day in the children's
daycare
facility. This was for employee's children to have a safe
place while there parent was at work. Susan looked at her
watch and then collected some trash from the table and
disposed of it. Her and Liz headed towards the elevators to
wait in line with the myriads of others.
Finally an elevator opened and a few people rushed out and
passed by those standing near it. Jenna pushed through to
secure her spot on the elevator. Her patience was definitely
running out. Right before the door closed behind her, Susan
and her daughter Liz slipped into the elevator just in the
nick of time. Liz held on to her mother as the elevator began
to descend. Jenna had already hit the button for the lobby.
Liz was talking to her mother about her day at the daycare.
Jenna stood on the other side of the elevator not paying them
any attention. She seemed to have her mind elsewhere. Suddenly
the elevator was dark. It stopped in mid-descent. "Damnit."
Jenna muttered to her self. Just then the tiny emergency
backup light turned on. They stood there speechless for a
moment in the dimly lit elevator.
Part Three - Trapped!
Liz held onto her mom. "Mommy I'm scared." She said. Don't
worry honey there's nothing to worry about. When the power
comes back on we will get out ok sweetie?" "Ok mommy." She
said. "Damn I can't believe this is happening!" Jenna said.
"Yeah tell me about it. But I'm sure if we stay calm they'll
have the power on and have us out in no time." Susan said. "No
you don't understand. This can't be happening!" Jenna said
franticly. "Why what's wrong?" Susan asked. "I was leaving
work early, cuz I needed to use the restrooms in the lobby
before I catch the subway home. I really have to go bad." She
said with a shaky tone of voice. "Isn't there a bathroom in
your office suite, most of the upper offices have them." Susan
said. "Yeah, but I didn't want to use them. I don't like to
use them because other people from my office use them. And I'm
sort of shy about going to the bathroom with other people I
know in the same room." Jenna said.
There was some silence. "Well, I'm sure they will get us out
of here soon though so just hang in there." Susan reassured.
"You don't understand." Jenna said while starting to cry. "I
have been holding it while waiting on the elevator and even
before I left my office. I got on this elevator in hopes of
getting right off and running to the bathroom. I have to go
like right now. I don't think I can hold it." She said while
sobbing. "Well, if you have to go, it's perfectly
understandable. I'm sure this has happened to people before
who get stuck in places. Like think about those people that
get stuck when a building collapses and they are there for
days. I'm sure they had accidents too. So it's ok if you can't
hold it. I totally understand." Susan said calmly. She was
such a good mother that she was totally calm about a lot of
things that would upset other people. "No! You don't get it!
I'm a executive manager! I can't just go in my pants! What if
my co-workers or important colleagues see me? I have an image
to uphold ya know?"
"Well I can't really help you hun. Why don't you just sit down
over in that corner and try to hold it and if you have to go,
then just go. There isn't anything we can do right now." Susan
said. Jenna just sat there holding her face in her hands
sobbing. "Mommy is she gonna be ok?" Liz asked. "Yes honey she
just as to go potty really bad." Susan said to her daughter
who was still clinging to her mother's leg.
A while later they heard some one pounding on the roof of the
elevator. "Is anyone in this elevator." Came a man's voice.
"Yes! HELP!" Jenna said. "The power is out, city wide. Your
elevator is between floors so we can't open it until the power
comes back on. Is everyone ok in there?" he said. "Yes, we're
all ok, but please hurry and do something. There's a lady in
here that is in urgent need of a bathroom." Susan said. Jenna
was to shy to talk at this point. "I don't know how long it
will be. I'm sorry." The voice said. "Ok, we'll be ok. Just do
what you can to get us out." Susan said. She still had a sense
of calm about her.
Jenna stood up for a moment and then squatted on her knees
with her back against the corner of the elevator. She gave
Susan an embarrassed look. It was obvious what she was about
to do. Susan turned her back towards Jenna. "Turn around Liz,
give her some privacy." Susan said to her daughter who was
looking at the poor woman having a major bowel movement into
her panties. They could hear her pee hitting the elevator
floor. She whimpered and then resigned herself to totally let
go. A moment later she slowly sat down in her puddle and let
her loaded panties squish the poo into her pantyhose. She just
sniffled and tried not to cry anymore.
Liz couldn't resist walking over to her and looking at her. "I
know what it feels like to poop in your pants. I did it one
time in the car last year. It feels better if you rock back
and forth in it to make it squish around until it feels more
comfortable in your pants." Liz said. Both Jenna and Susan
blushed. "Now honey, leave her alone and come here please."
Susan said to her daughter. Jenna decided to go ahead and take
the girls advice and mush it around a little more. It turns
out she was right. Once she had squirmed in it for a couple
moments it felt more comfortable. She then felt one last bit
of pee squirt out into her panties.
Time went on. It seemed to be forever since the power went
out. The emergency backup light was beginning to flicker and
become dimmer. Soon it was completely dark. "Mommy." Liz said
as she held onto her leg even tighter. "It's alright baby
mommy's here." Susan said as she reached down and held her
daughter and hugged her. Yet more time went by. "Mommy, I have
to pee-pee." "Can you hold it?" "No." "Well mommy can't take
you any where to go potty right now honey. I know that I
usually I tell you not to go in your pants, but we don't have
another choice. If you really have to go, just sit down in the
corner and pee your pants. That way it will just be wet on
your bottom." She said. "No, I don't wanna leave you mommy."
She cried. "Ok, it's ok. Then just stand there and go." She
said reassuringly to her daughter. IT was quiet for a moment
and then you could hear the sound of pee splashing against the
inside of her jeans and a few second later leaking onto the
metal elevator floor. After the tinkling sound stopped Susan
reached down to check her daughter's pants with her hand to
see how wet her jeans were.
She was soaked all the way down her legs and even her socks
were wet. "Mommy, it feels warm." She giggled. "You silly
girl." Susan said as she held her daughter. Then Jenna spoke
for the first time in 2 hours. "I'm so sorry I couldn't hold
it I know it smells awful in here. I'm so sorry." Jenna said.
"It's ok. Don't worry about it. I'm about to go in my pants
too. I had coffee while we were back at the cafe. Wish I
didn't drink that second cup now." Susan laughed hesitantly.
Jenna smiled for the first time that whole day.
Susan sat down and began to go in her pants. Her daughter
stood right next to her holding onto her hand while her mother
soaked her pants. She looked over towards Jenna's direction.
"Jenna, my maxi-pad is soaked and even it wasn't enough. I
totally flooded my bottom. So now we've all gone in our pants
so when they come to get us out of here, you won't be the only
one sweetie." Susan said. "Yeah but I'll be the only one who
took a dump in her pants." Jenna said. "Oh well, could have
happened to any one of us. Heck, if they don't get us out of
here soon, we all might wind up in your predicament." Susan
said while she and Jenna chuckled.
Finally about an hour later a rescue crew was on top of there
elevator and was able to break open the top hatch and get them
out. Jenna was the last to be pulled out. The rescue person
noticed all of us had accidents in our pants. "if you girls go
down the hall and two the left we have medical people. They'll
help you get a change of clothes. And don't feel bad about it,
we are used to this sort of thing. So go get cleaned up and
changed into some dry clothes and just hang out in the lobby.
The power isn't back on but we have a generator and some food
and stuff down there." So, Susan, her daughter Liz and Jenna,
went down the hall and got taken care of.
Later that afternoon, in the lobby they sat together and
talked. Jenna seemed to be more personable now since her
little accident. She didn't act so high and mighty now. It
must have made her feel more humble. At any rate, Jenna and
Susan became friends and often would ride the subway home from
work together. It just goes to show how hard times can bring
all sorts of people together. THE END!
