Elevator Drop

I was on the ground floor of a very tall building. It was a skyscraper type of building of metal and glass, and it was about 75 stories tall. I got into an elevator with a group of people and went to the top floor. There was some stuff that happened and I wound back up at the ground floor, but I don't remember what any of that stuff was.

I wound up getting into the elevator again. I was with Em and about five other people. There was a small child, a woman in her mid to late thirties, an elderly woman, and a man of no real description. I don't know anything about the last person/people.

We were heading to the top floor again, and the elevator was moving upwards very quickly. Somewhere around two thirds of the way up (around the 50th floor) the brakes on the elevator kicked in and we screeched to a sudden halt. I knew that something was wrong before we even stopped. There was also a bit of a grinding/groaning sound as the elevator lurched.

I was facing towards the back of the elevator, and Em was somewhere behind me. I looked at the woman that was in her mid/late thirties. Her hair was a dirty blond color and fairly straight, and she had it held back with a plastic head band. She gave me this strange look that was a cross between rolling her eyes like this sort of thing always happened and a look of, "we're screwed because now we're going to fall to our deaths."

Just after looking at her, the elevator plummeted. It seemed to do so unnaturally fast, almost as if the same effort that the elevator uses to pull us to the top was now used to rocket us downward. I knew this was it and that we were all going to die.

I woke up with only a second or two until impact.
