Reasons for elevators : Response

     the first paragraph seems very edited. as if it was meant to be a light for a very dark place.  it gives off a feeling of quietness, but too quiet.  elevators, lights, umbrellas, but then the mention of outliving the child due to be born that day.
     the part about "she has not told me" it initially makes me think it is the nurse in the elevator but then i realize its the umbrella narrating the story. it makes perf... just kidding, i feel as if the unborn child is narrating the story.  would explain why she (assuming its a girl based off of the authors name) speaks of the hotel in such a human bodily way.
     The revisiting of the hospital on every "un-birthday".  Is it the hospital it's self that is narrating at this point in time? Is the "Body of the hospital" speaking?  Is it some after death cemetery which allows us to see more than one perspective for this event ?  It seems like an interesting concept for me.
