Elevator to Heaven
Author’s note: This word art might work better on a wider screen. Apologies. ;)
No, I have not abandoned my other stories. I am just apparently addicted to One-Shots - EEK!

Chapter One: Hell, is Other People.
*
Jean-Paul Sartre
Had once said wisely, that:
“Hell is Other People”
In the great play, he wrote, called
“The Devil and The Good Lord”
*
So, If Jean-Paul Sartre had once said that “Hell is other people”
Then clearly it was because he had never been trapped in an elevator.
And by ‘In an elevator’, Meredith means ‘In an elevator’, like me.
with ALL the people, who are your HELL…
*
Exhibit A: Mark-Fucking-Sloan
The most man-whore-iest-man to roam the planet.
The first time you met Mark he said you made him “wanting to stay in bed all day”
And he asked you if you ever dated people at work, before he fell on his face in Derek’s revenge
*
Which leads us to-
*
Exhibit B: Nurse Rose who-knows-her-last-name-even.
The first time you met his McRebound is when she was hitting on Derek right in front of you.
And she was operating with your ex-McDreamy like she had been doing this like, forever.
Which leads us to-
*
Exhibit C: The one and only Doctor Derek Christopher Shepherd.
The first time you met Ex-McDreamy was when he told you he was just a “guy at a bar”
And he said this before taking you home and tearing all of your clothes off,
And hitting on you at his work the next day, and dating you till his now ex-wife just shows up.
*
Which leads us to, finally-
*
Exhibit D: Doctor Addison Forbes Montgomery, Doctor Derek Shepherd’s now ex-wife.
The first time you met Doctor Montgomery, she had a -Shepherd at the end of her name.
And she wasn’t even close to being the ex-wife that she now skulkingly appeared to be.
*
And when Mark Sloan enters the elevator to tell his friend Derek Cristopher Shepherd
“Wow, boy I sure bet that you’re wishing you’d taken the stairs right about now...”
You start to seriously consider, as in like, seriously, seriously consider
That if Jean-Paul Sartre was right; ‘Hell is indeed other people’
Then trapped in an elevator with Exhibits A all through D
Was the very definition of what hell was on earth.
And you (Meredith), for one, were not,
Going to just stand there
With THEM
In
*
HELL.
With all of these exhibits of all of those people A-D
Who are causing her to be there
In your elevator escalating
Directly down to
HELL
*
No, sir.
No, siree bob.
Instead, you were going to take matters,
Into your very own hands. And seek some sweet, sweet revenge of your own.
And just maybe, you think you might be charitable.
And you’ll take Derek’s Ex-Wife
Out of all this hell, too-
You owe her that-
Now don’t
you?
