It seems really weird now five years later.

Out of all the games Alex and I made up, this one was the strangest by far.

I don't even know how he came up with the idea. It was probably Alex that thought of it. He was always

the one thinking up the new cool thing we'd do. He was the finious of this friendship, if you

will. No, now that I think about it it was my idea no wonder it

backfired. The game was actually pretty simple I think it was the placing of the new elevator in our apartment block that played the part

in the making of the idea.

It was one of those elevators that are designed to look super smart and classy, but in reality was really cramped and hard to get from

point A to point B with. You've seen the type.

metallic doors, metallic buttons, soft red light shaped like triangles above the doors that indicated if it was going up or down.

Just generally very uncomfortable and very inconveniencing.

The annoying ping sound it made whenever it stopped on a floor, some were made it that much worse.

At least they didn't play cheesy music.

Long story short, the elevator sucked.

when he first saw it.

Dude, this elevator is stupid as hell.

He looked very proud of himself for having used a bad word

like any self-respecting

10-year-old wood. Still better than your place, I returned and pressed the

annoying metallic button on the left side of the door. The obnoxious red light for down lit up in an instant, and that's when I got the idea.

It started as something a kid would ask themselves, what would happen if we could make both the light shine?

I thought to myself at first.
