We were currently inside the elevator as the doors were shutting; my eyes were covered by my hands, and I was leaning against the wall for support. It had taken another ten minutes after agreeing to do it before I got myself to actually get on the thing. The elevator began moving, and my nerves kicked into high gear the more I thought about it.

For me, the only stuff eye-level and remotely interesting were the boxes beneath the tables (and sawhorses with plywood used as tables). Sometimes you could find a handheld game, other
