[ WP ] A hidden elevator is found behind a fake wall in a basement .

It was weird being here. I have no memories of my Uncle; even from when I was a child. Yet here I stood in his house. He had died in an awful car accident. Hell, I would've never even known he'd died if he had n't given me the deed to his house in his will. My dad had never talked about him when he was alive and I never cared to ask. Now I stand in a dead man's house and not sure what to do. 
 
 He did n't have many possessions. Most of the rooms had only “ essential ” furniture, such as beds, couches, dining room table etc. The only thing not covered in dust was one chair and a bit of the table, clearly where he must eat. I wandered down into the basement with my nose plugged in anticipation of a musky smell. I cringed at the thought of that musky smell as the door swung open, but it never came. Intrigued, I crept down the stairs and switched on the light. There was a few boxes scattered around, an old work bench and an empty shelf. Nothing really out of the ordinary after everything else I'd seen so far. Not surprisingly there was dust everywhere. 
 
 Well, except for a path worn through the dust. It looks like my Uncle came down here a lot and walked somewhere off near the water heater. Curious yet again, I walked the path my Uncle had seemingly walked frequently. It did n't lead up to the water heater though, just sort of near it. It stopped right up near this wall which was completely devoid of dust. 
 
 I stood in front of this wall and noticed my heart was racing. Why would my uncle come down here and up to this wall so much that there was no dust on the path I had followed? My Uncles lawyer had n't mentioned if he was `` short of a few screws''. Then again, why would he? I gave the wall a little knock. It sounded like metal. Metal walls in a basement in a house like this seemed weird. Then again, I do n't know anything about building houses, so I could be very wrong. Still, something did n't feel right about it. Heart now racing, I pushed up against the wall, but nothing happened. I did n't see any seams or levers anywhere along it either. I scanned the basement looking for a switch of some sort, but found nothing. After what seemed like hours of knocking on the wall on different points and searching the basement I sat on the floor and leaned against the wall. What am I doing? Why is this wall getting me so worked up? 
 
 I sighed, `` screw this...'' 
 
 A loud hiss sounded from behind me and I half ran, half stumbled, away from the wall. Staring in complete astonishment, I watched as the door slowly dislodged itself from the wall and slid to the side. 
 Behind the wall was what looked like an... elevator? I crept slowly up the wall and jumped quickly past it, terrified the wall would shut on me. I looked around the small room I was now in. There were 2 metal walls and what looked very much like elevator doors. I felt along the walls and could n't find any switch to open the doors. I have to get these doors open. I have to find out why there is a freaking elevator in the basement! I stretched my arms real quick, took a deep breath and put my hands against the elevator doors and tried to separate them. I strained as best I could, but they did n't budge. Not to be beaten when I've come this far, I jumped in again trying to pry them open. 
 
 `` ARRRGH come on you stupid door!'' 
 
 *Ding* the doors slid open and I stared, bewildered yet again. The elevator looked like a big luxury hotel elevator. There was a thick red carpet on the floor and the wooden hand rail looked like it was made out of maple with intricate designs carved into it. 
 
 I exhaled, not realizing I had been holding my breath. I had to see where this goes. I whipped out my phone and saw I had no reception. I quickly ran back upstairs where I did have signal and sent a text to my friend. `` Ray, if you do n't hear from me by tomorrow come to that house I told you about the other day and check the basement. Bring your gun, just in case.'' With that sent, I ran back into the basement with my heart thundering and walked up to the elevator again. This is crazy... this is insane. I took in a big gulp of air and entered the elevator. There was a single button with a strange design on it. I hit the button and wondered if this was a huge mistake as I watched the elevator doors shut.
