Every elevator ride has a moment of flash lightning.

I'm sure everyone knows and has heard the myths about death. Most of what I've learnt I picked it all up from the TV. Those myths about where you go in the afterlife, the thing about walking towards the light, lingering around loved ones for a bit before crossing over or simply even staying back for a good time and I mean Revenge..!! I got it all from the movies I watch. The myth that provoked my curiosity the most was the one that goes like, "there'll be a fraction of a second when your whole life flashes right in front of you before something bad is about to occur." I'm guessing that the contents of the quick flash will all be about what has happened in your life rather than what you're about to miss in life if you don't make it alive. To be more precise, the flash is in 'past tense'. So basically it happens like this, you're about to get hit and ** BHAM..!!** your life flashes like a lightning right in front of you, all in 'past tense' and all of a sudden you're either walking towards the light or you hear voices in the distance. The funny thing is, these fast flashes, it happens to me all the time. Well, it doesn't mean that I'm always on the verge of death. It simply means that I'm in an elevator. I live on the 3rd floor. So when I take the elevator, I'm actually taking a lightning flash ride. As I enter the elevator and the moment the door closes, **BHAM...!!** my life actually flashes right in front of me. It's not like my whole life comes in that flash, just a tiny fragment of it maybe. Believe me, it does happen..!! The elevator door portrays a portal that shows a 3D version of my thoughts. Now, that portal on the contrary, doesn't show things in 'past tense' and focuses more on the 'future tense'. Like a reminder, an impulse keeping me on track hinting me not to deviate or get derailed. I never realized this till today. I tried not to think about anything when I entered the elevator today. The silence seemed kinda awkward to be honest. there were so many of us yet it was disturbingly quiet in there. To keep myself occupied till I get to the 3rd floor I concentrated on figuring out what will be on my mind when I take on my usual elevator rides instead. The result is what I'm putting down into words right now. Sometimes I move around on empty thoughts, like a zombie but I guess I'm running on a subconscious mode. I'm ready to resume back to reality after flashing moments like these. If an elevator ride can have severe impact on someone but in a positive way, then I would suggest everyone to simply enter an elevator and choose a floor. But let me warn you, do not choose a high rise building cos I'm afraid by the time you get there things might go bad and all you want to do when you get to the top is to jump down the building..!!
