Chapter Title: Steady She Goes
Chapter Summary: The lift is gone.
A flash fic, written in the length of a song. Around three minutes, in total, although I do wonder what would result if I wrote something to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I know that, technically speaking, I shouldn't edit afterwards, but my speed typing gets a little slapdash with spacing and letter arrangement.
When she turns around the lift is gone. Not that she wants to leave - yet - but it's eerie, being locked in. By a painting. Apropos, after trying to pull the damn thing off the wall for so many years, but she would much rather have a gate or something that showed that a doorway had been there a second ago. Hadn't even heard anything, just fans off in the distance and hum of monitors.
Nothing to do but push on.
