for Friday Fictioneers.
Here we call them lifts, in other countries, elevators. I’m going with the former!
I hoped to be a pilot but my dream never took flight, so instead I became a lift operator in a posh hotel. It has its up and downs but I enjoy it.
It’s lovely when ladies come aboard smelling of expensive perfume but awful when men break wind, it’s wrong on so many levels.
Yesterday a lady entered displaying an enticing cleavage. ‘Please press one’ she said. I stifled a giggle!
I’m told ghosts use lifts to raise their spirits. Ooo-errr!
Today I’ve travelled 15.4 miles, the doors have opened and closed 342 times, and I’ve carried 271 passengers!
‘Going down’.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Liz Young for the picture.

Light-hearted and lovely take on the prompt! A bit of a view then, eh? Had me chuckling, as I recalled the straight-faced lift operators who must have seen and overheard all sorts during their shifts. Curious and fond memories of another era. Thanks for lifting my spirits today 🙂

He got to fly after all and an elevator operator would have less stress but the stories he could tell. Very clever writing, Keith!
