The loud crash and vibration caused by the fallen elevator was heard by almost everybody in the building. Everyone was holding their bright phone screens up as they came out of their dorm rooms. They looked at each other in fright along the dark corridors.
"What happened?"
"I think I heard a loud noise coming from the vicinity of the elevator."
"I heard that, too. I thought it was an earthquake…"
They chattered on as they raised their phones and walked down the corridor in front of the elevator. The double leaf elevator doors remained shut, unable to open due to the power cut. If anyone wanted to get down, they would have to take the stairs instead.
The warden suddenly realized what had happened. "Ahhhhhh!" She let out a blood-curdling scream. Panicked, she started making phone calls. She called the School Security Division, the off-campus police, and even the elevator's maintenance team.
