The Elevator Ninety-Eighth 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.

"Now listen to me.  We can't let anyone know that we swapped."

"Yes, Mommy."

"No, no, no.  I'm not Mommy.  Call me Annabelle.  You are Mommy.  Well to other people you are Cynthia.  If someone stops to talk to you, just say you are in a hurry and can't talk."

"OK...Annabelle."

"Good, now when we get to the bank, you go right up to the ATM machine just like I told you."

"Yes."

"You put the card in and then you press the numbers.  Do you remember the number?"

"Yes, 5903."

"That's right."

Then you press withdrawal."

"Which one is withdrawal?"

"I'll tell you which button to press when you get there."

"OK."

"Then you select $200.  That's two with two zeroes after"

"OK."

"When the money comes up you put it in your purse."

"OK."

"Then we can go to MacDonalds."

"Yeah!!!"

"I thought you would like that."

"Just remember we can't let anyone know we swapped.  No one at all."

"I promise."

"Good girl.  Let's go.  Hold my hand and I'll lead us to the bank."

"Momm...I mean Annabelle, I have to go weewee."

"OK, let's go back home.  We'll go to the bank after you are done."
