Extended description

A Speculative Fiction short...
When a power failure traps an elevator full of tourists on their way down into a deep cavern, a small boy's life hangs in the balance. With his arm caught between the open grillwork and rock wall, he faces certain death if the cage drops. His parents, already waiting below, try to save him by seeking an alternate route out of the cave and back to the top of the mountain.

Above ground in the lodge, a young man, unaware of the consequences, tries to return power to enable the elevator to move while a man and woman try desperately to prevent that happening. In this race against the clock, who will win? Who will lose?
