The Elevator Sixteenth Floor (Patreon)

Cardonali the magical imp was doing what he always did, he caused trouble to others for his own amusement.  Cardonali had the ability to put any thought into a person's mind and manipulate them as he wanted to.  He stood unobserved or at least unacknowledged in the back of an elevator waiting to see who would get in.

Christopher was surprised when he saw his date Natalie waiting by the elevator.

"Hurry, or we'll be late," Natalie informed him as she got into.

"We have plenty of time, the movie doesn't start for another ninety minutes."

"Movie, I don't want to go to any dumb movie, I want to go to the Cardinals game.  That starting in about half an hour."

Natalie had been in the elevator earlier that day with her little brother..  Since then her interests had changed a lot.

Christopher was relieved.  He didn't want to go to the movie that Natalie had previously proposed.  A night at the ballpark with his girlfriend sounded like a lot more fun.

Christopher had a great time.  Natalie was so much fun to be with.  She followed the game and knew all the players.  It wasn't until after the game was over that Christopher discovered that Natalie didn't have any interest in him at all.  She didn't have any interest in any man actually.
