Three years ago, Evan experienced staring death in the face. He was stuck in the elevator in his new apartment.
After buying a big birthday cake for his mother in the bakery, he called his mom and told her that he would
go home soon. It was a fourteen- storey building, and he lived on the fourteenth floor. He pressed the elevator
button, and then waited for the elevator as usual. He was very excited and anticipated to see his mother’s
happy and surprised face. When the elevator was on the tenth floor, the light of the elevator was off, and the
surrounding became completely dark. Evan was very so scared because he couldn’t see anything. Just then,
the light was on again, and he thought it was just a temporary mechanical problem. Suddenly, the elevator

loudly because he thought that he had only minutes to live. He was so frightened that the sweat broke out on
