The Elevator Twentieth 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.

Jacob and his son Tomas entered the elevator, since mom wasn't home the two guys decided to go out to the park and throw the ball around some.

Jacob put his arm around Tomas and asked, "Hey Tomas, I have an idea.  Let's order dinner early and bring it home for mom so she doesn't have to cook."

"That's a great idea.  What should we get?"

"Italian?"

"A pizza?"

"No, not just a pizza.  Some dishes.  How about chicken marsala?"

"You know what would be better than just buying dinner?  How about we make it ourselves?"

"Chicken marsala?"

"Sure how hard could it be.  I'm sure there's a recipe on the internet.  Here it is...I don't think we have all the ingredients."

"Then I guess we'll have to go shopping.  We should do the weekly shopping while we are out."

"Yeah, you know what?  Mom's been great, let's clean the house."

"That's a wonderful idea.  We can do it while dinner is cooking."

"How about we also do the laundry?"

"Sure, why not."

"You know with all we are going to do, we'll probably get dirty.  We'll need plastic gloves."

When the pair left the elevator, they were getting more and more involved.  By the time Mom got home, not only was the dinner ready, house cleaned and laundry done, but she also had two live-in uniformed maids to wait upon her hand and foot.
