The elevator was supposed to take you to safety, away from the perdition of the ground floor.
By the time you managed to reach it both doors had been torn clean off.
Still anything was better than everything you'd escaped from so far - it was your best bet.
After taking a quick glance around you to make sure they hadn't followed, you ducked inside.
None of the buttons were lit up but still you frantically pushed the eighth floor and hoped for the best.
The sounds of metallic scraping came from down the hallway indicating that they were closing in.
As it drew closer you began blindly hitting any and every floor you could.
Just as the tip of its blood drenched claws poked out from the connecting door the elevator pinged.
With a sharp jolt that sent you flying to the floor it began moving haltingly upwards.
As the first floor passed you saw the creature that had been chasing you all this time sprinting
towards you, its arms outstretched and leaving a trail of blood as it hurtled to meet you.
It made it halfway through the moving elevator, torso jamming the mechanism.
Despite being partially crushed it still reached out for you, gargling out your name as it bled out.
Its claws managed to slice clean through your ankles, sending you sprawling to the floor.
As the lift finally broke free from the blockage the creature's severed torso crawled towards you.
