Story

Walking in from the outside street, the protagonist enters the office building lobby where many other people are waiting for the elevator. The elevator doors open and the protagonist enters the elevator and puts on headphones to listen to the local news. 

When the elevator stops, the door opens and all the people leave for their office work, but the protagonist is stuck. he wants to leave the elevator, but his body refuses to move. 

The door closes and the elevator continues going up. It continues going up until the elevator  breaks through the building ceiling and goes into the clouds. Finally the elevator doors open and what waits out there is a heavenly looking place with giant pillars.

What we want to convey in this story that sometimes, being "temporarily stuck" isn't a bad thing. Although it may prevent you from conforming to the norms, if you are patient you may see a whole new world open up to you.
