“Somebody stabbed you in the neck, young lady.”
My eyes widen, and I slowly turn toward the elderly
gentleman standing at my side. He presses the up button
on the elevator and faces me. He smiles and points to my
neck.
“Your birthmark,” he says.
My hand instinctively goes up to my neck, and I touch
the dime-sized mark just below my ear.
“My grandfather used to say the placement of a
birthmark was the story of how a person lost the battle in
their past life. I guess you got stabbed in the neck. Bet it
was a quick death, though.”
I smile, but I can’t tell if I should be afraid or
entertained. Despite his somewhat morbid opening
conversation, he can’t be that dangerous. His curved
posture and shaky stance give away that he isn’t a day less
than eighty years old. He takes a few slow steps toward one
of two velvet red chairs that are positioned against the wall
next to the elevator. He grunts as he sinks into the chair
and then looks up at me again.
“You going up to floor eighteen?”
My eyes narrow as I process his question. He somehow
knows what floor I’m going to, even though this is the first
time I’ve ever set foot in this apartment complex, and it’s
definitely the first time I’ve ever laid eyes on this man.
“Yes, sir,” I say cautiously. “Do you work here?”
“I do indeed.”
He nods his head toward the elevator, and my eyes move
to the illuminated numbers overhead. Eleven floors to go
before it arrives. I pray it gets here quickly.
“I push the button for the elevator,” he says. “I don’t
think there’s an official title for my position, but I like to
refer to myself as a flight captain, considering I do send
people as high as twenty stories up in the air.”
I smile at his words, since my brother and father are
both pilots. “How long have you been flight captain of this
elevator?” I ask as I wait. I swear this is the slowest damn
elevator I’ve ever encountered.
“Since I got too old to do maintenance on this building.
Worked here thirty-two years before I became captain.
