The Elevator

[upseydaisy]

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!
