Elana Johnson Quotes

“I couldn’t compete with Honesty,

With her dark blonde hair streaked with auburn,
With her captivating blue eyes,
With her legs that stretched into forever.
She had the brains,
The body,
The perfect resume for girlfriend.

And me?
I had the perfect resume for
Best friend.
All the boys said so.”
― Elana Johnson, Elevated

“I thought three minutes and twelve seconds would undo me.
Now I’m trapped.

I cannot survive in this elevator.
Not with him,
Not for much longer
Another second.”
― Elana Johnson, Elevated

“The lights disappear,
The elevator shudders,
Stalls,
Quits.
All in the same nanosecond.

All that exists is darkness so thick I can't think,
And Travis so close I can't breathe.”
― Elana Johnson, Elevated
