The Elevator.
They had been married for half a century. More. He remembered her as a girl, as a child almost. She was 16. He was 15. They met at a dance.
When he first looked into her eyes, she shied away. Her long lashes bent and curved to the left as her eyes could not meet his. She'd only been kissed once, and she knew when she looked at Henry that he would be the next, and last boy to kiss her.
He saw her avoid his glance and thought he'd struck out. She looked back at him immediately and asked him, "Would you like to dance?"
She'd never asked a boy to dance before.
A few wars and three kids later, here she was. In the hospital. With cancer. He cursed the gods and her mother's genes but here she was. Hooked up to so many machines he wasn't sure she was really still alive, still human.
Still Jenny.
Henry wanted some coffee. Needed it. He had been awake, lying next to her, holding her hand, whispering to her, for 35 hours straight, and he wasn't young. He'd wiped the sides of her mouth when they became too wet or too dry, he'd rubbed lotion into her neck - she always worried her skin looked too loose - he glossed her lips and blushed her cheeks and changed her earrings. She always fussed about those things. She wanted to be perfect.
Henry thought she was perfect.
Coffee. The urge finally got the best of Henry and he left Jenny to have a cup. He made his way down the corridor of the old hospital and found the elevator. It was an old model, of course, and had an operator. His name was Bill. Bill was about 20 years older than Henry. He was a black man with a white beard. White hair, too.
What floor? Bill asked.
Whatever floor has coffee.
Bill pushed the buttons and the elevator door closed. He pulled the safety gate shut and it descended.
Old elevator, Henry said.
Old man, Bill said.
My wife's in for cancer. It's serious this time.
My wife had cancer too.
Seriously?
Serious.
How is she?
She's in a better place now. No suffering.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. She loved her life and her death.
She loved her death?
Those who live well die well.
My wife lived well...
How's that?
Well, she loved art and music and history and she rescued stray dogs...
And you?
And I...
No, I mean, she loved you, right?
Oh, I know she did. She's the only woman that I absolutely know loved me. Everything she said, everything she did...
And?
And our kids. I hope they get here in time.
The elevator door opened just then, and Bill opened the gate. But Henry no longer felt he needed coffee. He felt exhilarated, alive, shaky, desperate to see his wife. The love of his life.
Can you take me back up?
Sure.
When the door closed, though, Henry began to weep. He leaned his tired, gaunt body on the wooden railing that encircled the enclosure. Bill touched his arm.
It'll be okay.
It won't.
It will. I've been through it.
But I don't think i can. I don't think I will live another day if she's not here.
You will.
How?
You won't know how. You just will. It's hard but you will. Especially if you have kids.
Henry was sobbing now. So hard that Bill had to hold him up. He would have fallen to the floor in a heap otherwise. Henry needed the holding.
What if she...I hope she...
Don't think that way. Just be there.
When the elevator got to Jenny's floor, Bill let Henry go.
Go.
Henry looked into Bill's eyes in almost the way Jenny had looked into his at the dance. Shy. Nervous, a little. He'd bared his soul to another man in two meaningless elevator rides. Connected.
It's okay, man. Go to her.
When Henry got back to Jenny she was gone. The kids hadn't arrived yet, and the priest had delivered Extreme Unction.
He kissed her lips and held her hand, one last time, and stared at her in disbelief.
He needed coffee.

WTF AGAIN WITH THE FRIENDLINESS
I'm not so new. The hate that you got on Monday was weaksauce; I only churn out quality. That's why I pick my targets. Someone has to piss me off to earn some Ikari hate. You really haven't done much more than mildly irk me.
Which is saying something.
I don't think I'll go after you. I'm not "sparing you" or anything; you just don't deserve it. I hope I'm being clear.
Also, my name comes from an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion. It was my first (and only) anime I ever watched. I liked it in high school because it made me feel intellectual.
I'm not sure what the character's first name means, but "Ikari" can mean, not coincidentally, "rage" or "anger" in Japanese.
You can call me "fuckstick", though.

well, if you're new, the "hate" i got was all just monday. i've never gotten anything of the sort before and most of it came from one anonymous person.
I've looked at other people's posts, and they're also one-quarter to one-third responses from themselves, so that was a weak justification for "hating" me.
also the amount of hits I have is a stupid reason to hate me too. then there was "YOU"RE CUTE! YOURE A GIRL AND HAVE A VAGINA!!!!!! nonsense. I wish I'd never shared my image sometimes.
it was actually amusing, though, and a compliment to me that I've given very little meat to pick. I don't take myself seriously...you can read my response to the vagina thing on "battery testing."
if you're interested.
i like your name, btw. what does it mean?

I can't decide whether or not I dislike you. You don't seem to offer up any justification for hate. You rate your own posts, but only to respond to others. You don't seem to be prideful, you take things in stride and you don't start shit.
You've posted a lot of blank entries, but the responses wound up being entertaining. You're friendly, but even I can't rationalize hating someone for that.
Your rating system is skewed to favor people you know, but that happens so often that I can't fault that. Hell, unless it's a straight-up hate post, I only use 2, 0, and -2. Good, neutral, and shit.
You're complicated. I feel with the amount of hate you get, I should be in on it as well.

Don't take this the wrong way (i.e., the way in which you get insulted, because that's not what this is about), but...
...I just think it's funny that you've gotten so many people to like you based, essentially, on two things:
1. You're attractive.
2. You're nice, almost (but not quite) to a fault.
Don't get me wrong; what you've posted is mostly good, and your responses are adequately (and alternately) nerdy and bizarre, but you haven't been aroung long and everyone seems to dig you.
You were voted "Best Personality" or "Best Smile" or "Most Likely to Get Hugged by a Complete Stranger" or some bollocks back in secondary, weren't you?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was emulating Joyce. But since Doyle's stories are completely character-driven linear narratives, it does become distracting after multiple pages or when involving multiple speakers. I think punctuation should enhance storytelling, not overpower it. It treads the line, but overall, I'd say it works better than it doesn't.

one side note: another supposedly acceptable thing now is spelling "judgment" with an "e."
turns out if enough people can't spell it, they'll list it in the dictionary as a "variant."
it's not a fucking variant. it's wrong.
so evolves the English language.

i personally dont see a problem with it, dialogue usually defines itself through context and sometimes that kind of lay out can give a reader a bit of a different insight into the event at hand or the thoughts.

It's quite annoying, really. Roddy Doyle, although I love his work, does dialogue like this:
-- Where are you going, Jimmy?
-- Down the pub.
-- When you coming home, then?
-- Maybe never.
et cetera, between paragraphs. Sometimes there are more than two speakers, and it's difficult to figure out who's saying what.
"Snapper" is a cracker, though.

come to think of it, I think I posted it under this heading because I wanted to somehow get across the fact that it was a very quick write. "free writing" or "automatic writing" might have been more accurate, in retrospect; I don't know. but thankfully, I no longer feel the need for explanatory titling.
hence, gems such as "you know who you are." :)
now THAT'S the post that will not die.

well, I agree with you about titling. I titled it the elevator; I posted it whilst under the influence of chardonnay. explanations, not excuses...you're right, you're right, you're right.

one more thing: what is your opinion of the way roddy doyle and the like punctuate their dialogue? in no way am I comparing my little five minute story to the barrytown trilogies or anything, but your comments got me thinking.
does it bother you when dialogue isn't set off by quotation marks? I've noticed more and more contemporary fiction employs this style, which was considered incorrect before. It bothered me at first, but I've gotten rather accustomed to it after seeing it so frequently.

i think you are right when you say you should have just titled it. saying youre writing or are going to write in a particular style is just confining for you and for the reader. write your story in what sseems most fitting to the characters, the plot or your hair colour, and let the technical bullshit sort itself out. people who try to write in 'a style' are doing so often because they have nothing to write about and think that techinque is a substitute for plot.

fair enough iqq. appreciate your comments. right on. and I probably should have just called it "the elevator" anyway, since that was the title I gave myself.

"but as I did write this all in one go with no set idea, I'm afraid it is indeed stream of consciousness. what's your definition? "
no, thats jsut unedited work.
stream of consciousness usually has to do with the consciousness of the character, not the author (though the writing style makes it appear that way). its like the written equivalent of a characters thoughts (and often accordingly their actions). see books like 'on the road' or 'sound and the fury' for examples. the consciousness of the character flows and is more disjointed, usually to convey the impression of an addled or ill mind. in keroac's case with on the road his character is not addled or ill, but rather his thoughts and their stream are an indication or a reflection of his behaviour - he is a rambler who travels all over the us constantly.
the bit you think is stram of consciousness in this story is just dialogue without the usual punctuation to mark it as such, which is a common enough device used in texts that employ stream of consiousness, though with those texts the dialogue is often a replay in the protagonists mind, which provides the context for the lack of punctuation.
your perspective on this is a little skewed - youre seeing it from the wrong side, probably because you did a writing course or two.
i didnt really read the story itself, i jsut saw the title and decided to have a look. my comments here are not meant to be nasty or bitchy or anything, but rather meant to clear it up a little. people often mistake what stream of consciouness means.

Not really, but, I fucking mean it.

It took me five months to be able to post here.
CM I don't know alters happen. I have no interest in it. I will post under experima, and diavola for really long, dull fiction.
That is all.

I'm not sure I'll view it.
Still, if there's a virus, you're a dead man, Method.

Lungfish: I dont know how to find out your email address. If that doesn't prove I'm not Method, then whatevs.

How did this method go about getting so many alters? It took me months to just get this account.
Laughing at people with big heads is wrong, imagine all the joking and teasing he has had to endure throughout his life. FOR SHAME!

Amon: thank you for making me smile. I laughed because I was a 12 year old in the back row of the church at the shyest guy we'd ever known's funeral with my best friend.
We didn't know what to do, had never been to a funeral before...just looked at each other and got a horrible fit of giggles.
I still have the love letter he sent me one month before he died. Coronary, playing football at 15.

I laughed at a funeral once. There was a guy playing the piano who had a huge head. He looked like a tootsie roll pop.

My email is found in my user info. If there's a virus, I will kill you, Method. Or I will send my brother, who has told me on more than one occasion, "Danny, you want somebody killed? I will do it for you. No fuckin' problem." He's awesome. And kinda scary.
If you're not Method, you sure are friggin' nice. What are you doing here?

Lungfish. I think you were joking about the chatroom thing or else you wouldn't be participating in it. I'm having you over in a place where we can talk. We all want to be here at the moment. And you don't have chat, I asked you yesterday.
If you give me your real email, I will send you all sorts of other photos proving I'm not method, just like the one I posted here. I never accused you of being Method, by the way, which you could be.... :) hmmmmmmmmm.
JoeyG already told you I'm not. He knows I'm not. And seriously, who cares if I was? If you enjoy what I write and enjoy the reviews? I have never even read Method, really, and he hasn't touched mine. All I know is that people say he has two million alters. I am experima and diavola.
you're a fantastic cat.

OK then. I'm out. LM, anytime you want somebody's ass kicked, be sure to let me know. I'll send one of my brothers. He's bigger than I am. And he likes to beat folks. I don't. I'm a bit of a pacifist. It's been a long time since I hurt anybody. My brother's awesome. And he spent five months in jail. He's awesome.

Right, I have to bugger off and do something, or possibly crash out and deal with everything in the morning. My eyes are tired and I just tried to read something and words danced all over the page. Sod that. All the best, have a good night.

CM: I just dread having to do the hospital thing with my own family. I've been very fortunate to not have had to experience much illness and death. This post was done quickly, and I was surprised at what came out: a mixture of what I want...a long life with someone who's there for me...and what I don't want. To see someone die.
Never seen a dead body before. Scared to, as well. Been to funerals, one I giggled during, one I couldn't stop crying. Death and the effects it has on people each time is indescribable.
