Remember the guy that was voted Most Likely To Succeed in school? Did you ever wonder what happened to him? Well, he just might have ended up like this.

FADE IN:

           INT. ELEVATOR – DAY

           TOM is standing in an elevator with the doors

           open.  He sees BILL approaching.

                                TOM

                Going up?

           Bill enters and the doors close.  They both

           face forward.  Bill seems nervous.

                                TOM

                What floor?

                                BILL

                Huh?  Oh, uh, twenty-three.

           Tom pushes the button and they both wait,

           occasionally looking up to see what floor

           they’ve passed.  Bill steps in front of

           Tom and presses the emergency stop button.

                               TOM

                Whoops!  That’s the emergency stop button

                there, buddy.  It’s a common mistake.

                I’ll fix it.

    Without trying to be clever I believe this has the simplicity of class! I have written short stories and wish I could turn them into plays as good as this. you have done a great job.
    Best regards
