Miles tried his best, but there was really no avoiding elevators all the time. They were simply a fact of life, and one he did his best to deal with.

He had a routine, when he rode the elevator. After he pushed the button, he closed his eyes, and he took three slow, deep breaths.

Breathe in. The odds were in his favor.

Breathe out. Most elevators were very safe.

Most elevators were safe.
