The De-Evolution of the Prolle-Sodaro Elevator

--permit expires early January
--more sudden bumps and jerks are noticable
--grate that covers the fan-vent goes missing, leaving spinning blade bare
--second floor light goes out, leaving elevator riders to magically go from floors 1 to 3
--permit still not updated...therefore lack of safety check for over 3 months
--scratching sound against the door audible when passing from floors 1 to 2, meaning something is stuck in the elevator shaft
--even more sudden bumps and jerks are noticable
--bare fan now whirring louder, seeming like it could come flying down into the elevator at any moment
--permit still not updated

The moral of this story? It doesn't matter how dangerous the elevators are...I'll still take them instead of walking up four flights of stairs.
