Fiction by Kate Racculia

All these years, Viola has been waiting in the elevator. Natalie knows this is impossible—or at least highly improbable—and yet it’s true: when the doors part, Viola Fabian, the woman herself, is standing inside the small tarnished-brass box as if she’s been locked within for the past twenty years, whiling away the hours since 1977 until Natalie arrived with a wish to descend.
