The Parable of the Elevator

I know there are people who cannot wrap their heads around allegories, apologues, and abstractions. For them I will just relate an incident I may or may not have just witnessed.

A crowd of people files into an elevator. As the doors are closing, an elderly woman dashes in, and stands in the line of the door sensor, thus holding the elevator hostage. She yells to an elderly man, at this point out of sight, and continues to stand firm. Behind her, the rest of the passengers fume silently and exchange dirty looks. When the man finally arrives, the pair steps inside, allowing the doors to close.

The End
