THE ELEVATOR OF HORRORS
The kids reached the center of the mall, where an old
elevator stood.
“Stairs are safer,” Amy said.
Ray pushed the elevator button immediately.
“Ray—!”
Too late. The doors slid open, revealing… three zombies
trapped inside like broken mannequins.
All three turned their heads.
Ethan screamed so loud the zombies looked offended.
Lucy hit the door close button 500 times.
The elevator doors shut on the zombies’ hands like a
slow-motion horror movie. The zombies groaned angrily, but the doors finally
locked.
Ray slumped to the floor. “This is the worst elevator ever.”
Amy glared. “You literally summoned death.”
At the very top
level of the mall was a hidden door marked:
AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL ONLY
NO UNDEAD ALLOWED
Ray shrugged. “Good
thing we’re alive.”
“Debatable,” Amy
muttered.
Inside, dusty lab
tables covered the room. Test tubes. Machines. Papers. And—
In the center—
a glowing blue vial labeled THE CURE.
Lucy gasped. “We
found it!”
Amy carefully
reached for it…
Ethan slapped her hand away. “WAIT!”
Everyone froze.
Ethan picked up the
cure with two fingers like it was a poisonous frog. “Guys… what if this is booby
trapped?”
Ray nodded
seriously. “Yeah. Like in those movies where touching the treasure triggers a
giant boulder.”
Amy rubbed her
forehead. “This is not Indiana Jones.”
“Are you sure?”
Ray asked.
She wasn’t.
But she took the
vial anyway.
Nothing happened.
“See?” Amy said
proudly.
Then the building
alarm screamed to life.
WARNING. CURE REMOVED. SECURITY ACTIVATED.
Lucy groaned. “Of course.”
