He was found unconscious and rushed to the emergency room." Cecil's tone sounded serious. "Another time when there was a power outage, he got stuck in the elevator on his way to the tenth floor. The mere idea of being around any small spaces traumatized him long after." He increased his volume as he went on. "My father said he almost died." He told Edie the best he could recall it
With a look of horror, shook, and surprise all mixed into one, she gasped suddenly. "Does it still bother him now?" she asked, suddenly becoming nervous and worried, which automatically made Cecil feel nervous and worried.
