Reasons for elevators
i think the writer started off by giving us a feeling of how it feels like to be in an elevator in a hospital.
i think the second paragraph is speaking of a mother reaction to her carrying her dead baby in her stomach.As an elevator has its ups and downs just as we all do in our lives i think shes living through a downfall in her life right now. but i question " did the dead of the baby occur before getting in the elevator or in the elevator?
i think the speaker is telling a story that she has been told and then she expresses herself saying that she would feel the same if she was holding a dead baby because once she realizes she holding a dead baby it would turn into "fleshy brick".
i think they went to the hospital for the narrator to give birth or something and they are in the elevator and the mother is remembering her experience there as a "victim" maybe implying that it was her fault for the dead of the other baby. or maybe she was making a smart remark and kinda envying her daughter for having a living baby?
