The Elevator That Skipped the 13th Floor
You can’t skip what’s still waiting for you.
Everyone knew the Sinclair Building had no 13th floor — it jumped from 12 to 14 like countless others.
But every now and then, when the elevator doors opened between floors, passengers would glimpse something: a dimly lit hallway, peeling wallpaper, and a figure standing at the far end holding a lantern.
Security footage caught one man stepping inside. The doors closed. The elevator descended for eight hours straight before stopping — on floor 12 again.
Inside, the man was gone. Only his shoes remained, arranged neatly beside the buttons.
Maintenance later found a new button had appeared — 13 — glowing faintly.

As Life Goes Hobbies Go
Hobbies are everywhere around us, as they always have been no matter how we live our lives. Have we ever thought about how life goes along with our hobbies or does our life go along with our hobbies? Yes there are questions regarding this that I have been asking myself for years. Yes Hobbies are all around us, as we live our lives and yes as the way we live our life changes so do our hobbies and that is why we have so many hobbies in life. Hobbies are a great thing to have in life, as we all know because hobbies give life variety. As life goes on so do our hobbies because without hobbies life would be pretty boring. Life is meant to be fun and exciting boring things are slow and nobody likes a slow life do they? No they don’t or at least I notice that they don’t. So keep living the life that you want to live and you will feel great. The more you do the hobbies you enjoy the more you will get out of life. Do reading, if that is what you like, write blog posts if you like that, exercise. The list can go on and on, as hobbies are always different for each and every person who does them.
