The Elevator Game

Every corner of the internet knows the rules for the Elevator Game: a specific sequence of floors, a mysterious woman, and a trip to "another world." For a group of friends looking for a late-night thrill, it's just a stupid game to try in their modern, soulless apartment building.

They follow the ritual perfectly. The elevator ascends when it should go down. The doors open... and they're right back in their own lobby. They laugh, relieved. It was just a bust.

But then they notice the small things. The security guard has a face that's almost right, but not quite. They step outside, and the sun is setting in the wrong part of a sickly, green sky. The game didn't fail. It worked. It didn't take them to another world; it just shifted them one step to the side, into a perfect, terrifying replica of their lives. Now they're trapped in an uncanny valley version of home, where everything is familiar and everything is wrong.
