Rila was terrified of escalators.
She preferred taking the
elevator instead.
That day he pulled her to the
escalator.
“It’s not tough!”
Rila screamed, "Help! Stop
it!"
Losing her balance, she fell on
the ground.
She could see people, dressed in
white, descending down the escalator and coming to where she lay.

"Rila! Are you okay?"
"It's all my fault! I'm so sorry, sweetheart! Get up!"
"Dear God, please help!" she could hear his panic-stricken
voice.
"Open your eyes, Rila!" he begged.
She did!
