When the slipper doesn't fit
Cinderella's tale has gone wrong
It didn't fit. How could this be? She was the one who went to the ball in the pumpkin coach, with a dress of floating stars and a lizard footman. This was her slipper!
"I'm sorry, miss. You'll have to let someone else try."
She pulled the other shoe from her apron pocket and found a tatty ballet pump, not a glass stiletto.

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic.

Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
