“I can’t believe we’re stuck in here,” Rex exclaimed.

“Still no cell reception,” Mona studied her phone. “You?”

“Nope.” Rex turned to face her. “This is great!” he shouted his voice dripped with disgust.

“Don’t worry. Someone will come get us.”

“Don’t worry?” he repeated mockingly. “I don’t think so. We’ve been stuck here for ten minutes.” Rex banged on the doors. No response.

“Relax.”

“It’s difficult to relax when we can’t even let the hotel staff know we’re stuck here.”

Rex glanced at Mona. Her eyes were glued to her phone screen.

“After that dull workshop I sure as hell don’t want is to be stuck in an elevator.” He raked his fingers through his hair.

Mona quit playing with her mobile phone and looked his way. “Workshops are part of your job,” resentment colored her voice. “Don’t forget,” she added, “Hopping on this freight elevator was your stupid idea.”

“It was a stupid idea,” he shot back, “but if we hadn’t worked like dogs these past two days, I wouldn’t have—”

“Worked liked dogs?” Mona interrupted, one eyebrow raised.

“Yeah,” he plunked a hand on his hip. “We haven’t had a break since we came here yesterday. We worked through lunch today. I’m exhausted.” And pissed, he admitted silently.

Rex Cruz analyzed his situation. He felt he had every right to be angry. His boss, Mona Parker, had sprung a last-minute, out-of-state conference on him and he was forced to cancel his weekend plans with Aimee.

Mona leaned against the elevator railing and studied him. “When I hired you a year ago,” she said, crossing long shapely legs at her ankles, “I told you the job would be demanding.”

“Agreed,” he interjected, “but I didn’t expect to be your on-call personal assistant.”



The Elevator Ride - Part 2 will be posted tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

Calgon...take me away!

Family/Friends, I understand now why some companies/celebreties hire people to tend to their Social Media networking, it is very time consuming, not to mention mentally exhausting. Point in case, just today I spent over an hour on Blogger and YouTube working out some kinks with my profile/settings. My head's spinning and I'm pooped. On the topic of Social Media, I'd like to take a moment to thank my daughter, Pamela for acting as a consultant on the topic. Pamela works in the field and has actually helped launch my first AdWords campaign. Although it is progressing slowly, I have seen an increase in site ( www.mywritingden.net ) traffic and Twitter - 10 new followers in a week. I've also been receiving sporadic emails from 'fans' telling me how much they enjoy my stories...so this keeps me going. Ohhh, and a VERY notable mention to Linus Ly who gave me the idea to use a 'new' slogan Erotica, She Wrote . Liked it so much I'm already using it. T...

Family/Friends, I'm six and a half days way from going into a NaNoWriMo 'leave of absence'. Yep, this means the Flash Fiction Friday section of my website will be on hold until 12/7.  Also, I don't expect to be online much (Twitter or Facebook), but will check email periodically. On a side note, I want to say thanks to those of you who have recently signed up to this blog, I appreciate you.  Oh, and thank you also to those folks who have visited this site from Russia,  Sweden, and Malaysia. I think that's pretty awe-SOME! Well, that's all for now. Until next time! Maria
