Brilliant story. Extremely well written.Most of the story is in an elevator stuck high above the first floor. Cordelia who was heading home from a tiring day, with sore feet, becomes stuck in that elevator. Her thoughts, and short conversations with the mysterious voice that calls himself "Jeremy" is haunting.There are scares as Jeremy does what he can to protect Cordelia but she wonders at times if Jeremy will sacrifice her to save her.As time goes on, though, and events that Cordelia cannot even begin to guess at happen outside of the elevator, she comes to rely upon Jeremy's invisible presence as an anchor to keep her connected to the real world, and... to keep her safe.The story ends, but you are left with the possibility that more is coming. I am intrigued and look forward to anything further the author has to offer.What really gave me joy is that the author lives in Washington and not too far from where I am. Maybe downtown Spokane is not what she was thinking of for Cordelia's building, but I could see such events taking place downtown.Cordelia is a fascinating person in a humdrum world with a not-so-interesting job. She does her work, and never really thinks about the greater political picture, and terrorists. She is a simple woman to whom something extraordinary has happened.I want to know more about her, and the enigmatic Jeremy.
