[ WP ] There are 6 people on an elevator . It suddenly shuts down and a voice from the speaker said : The elevator will only function if there is only one left alive .

`` Son-of-a-bitch!'' 
 I finally get a job interview with the best law firm in town and what happens? I rip my pants on the way out the door and have to put on a new suit. Had to get an Uber because my car would n't start. Somehow, I manage to barely make it to the office complex on time and the elevator stops working with me stuck inside. 
 I glance at my phone. No bars, two minutes. 
 `` Any of you with Seaborn and Traeger?'' I ask the other five passengers. A woman in a blue skirt answers, `` no, sorry.'' The others simply shake their head no. The bald man in the back exclaims, `` Murphy's Law. You know, what can go wrong, will.'' 
 I roll my eyes, but fire back `` perfectly describes my day.'' 
 The elevator phone starts to ring. `` Should we answer it?'' asks a kid in the back. 
 `` Yeah, it's probably maintenance letting us know what's up,'' I tell him as I reach for the receiver. 
 `` Hello, how long is this going to be?'' 
 `` Only one may live. There is no escape until the other five are dead.'' 
 `` What the fuck? Who is this? Get us out of this thing!'' 
 The other passengers look nervous. `` What is he saying?'' asks the old man. 
 Should I tell them? I do n't want them to panic, and if this is for real, it's better I keep this info to myself. 
 `` You must kill the others,'' whispers the voice on the line. `` Only one may escape.'' 
 `` Are you serious? This is insane'' I yell. 
 `` Yeah bro, gimmie like 2 minutes'' says the voice, but muffled as if he turned the phone away to talk. 
 `` Two minutes?'' I ask puzzled. 
 `` Shit, uh, yeah. You got two minutes. Only, one can escape,'' he replies with a crack in his voice. 
 Then, I hear nothing but laughter. Roaring laughter, several people. `` Dude, I'm just fucking with you. Some jackass halted the elevators by mistake. They'll be running in a minute.'' 
 Good thing I'm headed to an attorneys office. I'm going to need one after killing the maintenance staff.
