"Now I'm free, Free Falling" (oooh I couldn't resist!!!)

Elelator go down the hole
by TeaL

Diana stood waiting impatiently for one of the old federal building elevators to reach her floor, she swore they got slower every day. They weren't overly old , simply overused and underappreciated....something Diana felt she could relate to.
Finally she heard the *ding* signifying the rickety box had arrived and with an almost strained sound the doors opened revealing no one inside. 'Thank god', she thought.
She hated getting stuck in an elevator with one or more people from another unit, she never had anything to say but not wanting to look like a snob she usually flashed a brief smile that never reached her eyes and tried not to initiate a conversation.
After a moment Diana realised the doors had not yet closed and she'd been staring off into space, blushing ,she quickly pressed the 'door close' button and hit her floor number.
The elevator started up again slowly and made rather unhealthy sounds as it crept upwards.
"If you were going *any* slower you'd be going backwards," she growled out loud.
Suddenly it stopped.....
Diana sighed, 'Of course out of all the places for this thing to crap out, it chose to do so *between* floors', she mentally swore as she reached for the emergency phone.........to find it had been ripped away from the wall. She was about to attempt to force the doors open herself like she'd seen on TV, although she wasn't sure what she'd do when faced with the brick wall......when just as unexpectedly as it had stopped, it started up again.
The elevator jerked upwards for a split second and Diana heard the sickly loud sound of cables breaking....her stomached lurched and settled in her throat, this was not good.
She felt suspended in mid air for a brief moment before she was bolted to the ground by an unbelievable force.
The elevator slammed full speed towards the basement, rapidly propelling Diana towards what was perhaps fated from the moment she woke up this morning....perhaps even since her birth.
Her mind raced with every event that had lead to her being in that particular elevator at that particular moment in time.
She whimpered.
Scully......
If she hadn't stopped to glare at Scully for that second before she'd headed for the elevator, she could have caught it's neighboring car before it headed off and she would be now sitting safely in the cafeteria eating spam and not about to become it.
After what seemed an eternity the elevator crashed into the basement floor with a force that shook the entire building.....a force which was added to by Diana's over eating during the winter months.
Diana never had a chance.

"Woaaaaaah," Mulder grabbed his desk as it shook, "What the hell?"
Scully gripped the file cabinet and asked at that same exact moment. "What do you suppose that was?"
They both shrugged.
A loud *ding* of an elevator reaching their floor filtered into their office.
"Quick Mulder let's get this one before we're late for the meeting," Scully said as the two rushed towards the waiting car...

THE END

I finally did it!! I killed her.....and boy it felt good!
