Suddenly it is black with smoke once again.  You can’t see or breathe.  In the confusion you hear a voice.  It has no panic.  It simply says, “Follow me.”  It’s the geek.  He calmly says, “I know the way out.”  He calls “you must follow me.  You have no other hope.  We must go up before we go down.  Don’t go near the elevators.  Follow me.”  Your mind races…”How could he know the way?” You think for a moment, “I have nothing to lose.  I’m going to die.”

The Day of Terror     continued...

You reach out towards the voice.  His hand grips yours and guides you in his direction.  You have no idea where he is taking you; all you know is that you are going up, not down.  Everything within you says, “no, not up; down!”  It is still dark, but you have found that you can now breathe, and so you trust him.  You really don’t have any choice.

Another sickening sound suddenly fills the air.  It is the snapping of elevator cables and the unforgettable echo of human screams in the elevator shaft, as people who had packed into what seemed the only way out, fall to their deaths.
