NEW LIFT IN SERVICE

The new lift installed at the back/top of the block is now in service.
‘Doors opening,’ it said and was true to its word.
It has dimpled steel for the external frame and interior, is longer inside than the old lift, has a grey/blue floor, three handrails waist height one at the back and each of the two sides, no coffin hole and a security camera.
The buttons are on the right side when I face the door. The sixth floor button is raised and has a green plastic washer making it stand out from the others seeing it’ll be the most wanted.
It’s clean and shiny.
‘Doors closing.’
‘How’s it going in there?’ said man passing from corridor to exit.
‘Seems to be working,’ I said and waved.
‘Going up.’
‘Doors opening.’
‘Doors closing,’ behind me on my floor.
