Six people get stuck on an elevator, but when the elevator starts moving again, their true ordeal begins.

Genre: Horror, Mystery

Excerpt:
It wasn’t where any of us wanted to go, but we all stepped off the elevator as if by some instinct to escape the place where we’d been trapped, even if it had just been less than an hour.

At a glance, we could see that the sixth floor was empty. No one was there. Nothing was there. Aside from the support pillars, it was an open empty space.

What’s the Word (that inspired the story)?
I don’t know.  I really don’t know.

Episode 201 THE HUNTER AND THE CRYPT
​“This was no time for doubt, with my hand gripping the wooden stake that I was soon to drive into her husband’s heart.”

​Some of the first rumors were of alien abduction. The latest rumors had turned the abductor into some kind of urban legend. And the latest victim was not what she seemed.
