I drove cab at night while I attended College during the day. I helped two stroke victims, but unlike my friend-Vietnam vet-, I was never called on to deliver a baby. This is very well written.

Thank you for sharing my story and your comments.
Comment from Unspoken94
I have read several elevator stories and even some movies related to this theme, but this is such a gripping story of three, soon to be four relationships.
I must say that I could fine no spags and your conversation with the two
men is so real and natural.
An excellent short story for Thanksgiving. -Bill

I am so sorry I have no sixes left to give you. This was an awesome read, and I enjoyed every single line of it. I was spellbound to the end, and it left me with a warm feeling. The miracle of birth was excellently told through the eyes of a novice at such things. Yet he came through in the end. I am so glad all turned out well, and yes, I do hope Sarge and Lisa become a family. Loved the picture - what a beautiful building.

Comment from Ric Myworld
As always, RodG, you managed to make me feel like I was right there through the whole process, white knuckled, cheeks squeezed tight. Of course, I'm glad you left some parts of the scene to my imagination, which was graphic enough. Thanks for another of your fine stories. Great job. :-)

Comment from Zue65
Wow a story, of three unfamiliar passengers stuck up in an elevator. The pregnant woman aided by an inexperienced guy to deliver her baby upon the instruction of an unknown soldier. The story was made more gripping with a breeched birth but ended with an angle of a brewing romance between the woman and the soldier. Thanks for sharing an amazing story. All the best.

Extra good story, author. Vivid images, tension that rose gradually, plausible dialogue and the reader feels the anxiety of the narrator. Very well thought out and written Good luck in the contest

Comment from Tessa Kay
Loved the story. full of emotion. I wished though, you'd run the spell checker before posting:
- If i visit any - 'I'
-meg bribed me -Meg
-i took little note - I
-red numbers abovde each -above
-joiined me on the ride up. - joined
-superseded guilt. I did it, rimacing - grimacing
-A frown warned off most, bjt there had been the tenacious few - but
-Save the kudos for SArge if - Sarge
-clasp me fiercely sith his one arm.- with
Still, the story is really well written, keeps the tension and has a lovely happy ending. Hope it'll do well. :)
