Metal Foretells~

I couldn't tell if it was night or day, the fog distilled the sky so it was hard to tell. I came up to a building that appeared to be quite old. Well, considering the appearance of the rest of the town it looked really inviting. I walked up to the door and tried to open it, but instead the door just fell off the hinges. Opps, I thought to myself as I stepped over the door and into the building.

"Hello, is anyone here?" I shouted slightly, echoing, but no response. I went up to the counter and looked over it. There was a key rack with numbers or words above each one. All the keys were missing expect for two. One listed as 'Basement Key' and the other 'Room 302'. I grabbed both keys, shoving them into my pocket, and pulled my flashlight back out because of the lack of light in the building. "Well, seeing the condition of this building... I don't want to try the elevator." Just then a ding echoed through the rooms. I pulled my gun to the ready. I looked around and noticed the elevator had lit up. I slowly walked towards it and fully drew my gun out. The door to the metal deathtrap opened with shuddered ease. There was no one in the elevator to have made it go to this floor. I stepped slowly inside to give it a slow look around and as I did so the doors shut quickly behind me.

Slamming a fist into the door, I tried to pull it open but had no success. "Damn," I sighed and hit the 2nd floor button, nothing. I hit the button again but with the same result. Suddenly the basement button lit up and it started its slow descent. "What the?" I took a step backwards and tripped, falling to the rust covered floor.

What I had tripped on was a radio which looked to be working, well maybe not now that I tripped on it, and not too old at the same time. I grabbed the radio and turned it on, nothing... not even static. I hooked the radio on to my belt and the elevator stopped. I stood up and took another step backwards as the doors opened once again.

The basement looked even worse than the rest of the building. I stepped out and to my luck the elevator shut back up and the lights from it turned off as well. Luckily I had a flashlight and turned that on.

"I guess, I'll have to find another way out," I spoke as I started out to explore the basement and although my inner voice screamed at me, I ignored the metal scrapping noise coming from further down in the basement.
