characterazation
protagonist:
this character is Martin and he influenced the ending of this story because he kept coming back to the elevator when he knew the lady was up to no good.
antagonist: This character is the old lady and she helps influenced to the ending of this story because I believe she purposely attended the elevator at times when she knew Martin would be there as well.
