Bucket- Great Glass Elevator

Mr. Bucket took his cane and waved it in front of the three children's faces. He screwed the top off and yeetyooted it into the hole where the Stringed Shite Sorter lived. It was the same hole he had previously yeetyooted a baby into.

Underneath the cane's top was a big red button with words on it. He swung it in front of Mahuika.

"Mahuika! You have a voice! I think! Please vape and read what it says."

Mahuika vaped.

"The Great Glass Elevator," she said.

"Yes! Yes! Correct! Splendid, Mahuika!"

"I vape," said Mahuika.

Mr. Bucket pressed the button. The door to the Comparison Room opened, and in flew a glass elevator with double doors. It landed delicately in front of the children.

"Isn't it great, children? It is the Great Glass Elevator! Mr. Wonka himself created it. It is the most speedsparking elevator in the world! It can go almost anywhere! Up! Down! Left! Right! It uses invisible skyhooks! It can fly high in the air! Dig deep underground! Dive in the ocean! I remember one of you children loving the ocean. It might have been Chauncey."
...

He pressed a button and closed the double doors to the Great Glass Elevator. "Let me see…"

Keerthi looked around the Great Glass Elevator. The walls and even the ceiling were covered with hundreds of rows of small black buttons, each with an accompanying label.

As Mr. Bucket searched for the button that would take them to a place she didn't want to go to, she looked for the button that might take her out of the factory.

Tide read some of them out loud, her voice lacking emotion. Keerthi realized she was trying to distract herself because she did not want to think about the slavery. She joined her.

"The Mourn Syrup Room," said Tide. "Delicious sweetener fresh from the funeral parlor."

"The Tinsulin Room," said Keerthi. "For diabetic robots."

"The Gutterscotch Room. Made from the tears of hopeless alcoholics."

"The Sackharine Room. Sugar-free castration machines."

"The Cigarette Candy Room. Cigarettes that look like candy. Discontinued."

"The Truegat Room. Nougat-based lie detection."

"The Super Laxative Room. A great place to relax."

"The Blood Sugar Room. Vampires with a sweet fang will savor the flavor."

"The Jelly Bean Room. Envy has never tasted better."

"The Jawbreaker Room. I do not believe in false advertising."

"The Vaping Room," said Mahuika. "Vapes." She vaped.

"Here we are!" said Mr. Bucket. "The Down Rooms."

He pressed the button. The double doors to the Great Glass Elevator closed, and the elevator pushed itself through the floor, flying down through further rooms at an unbelievable speed.

"This factory is large, children. When I first began working here it took Mr. Wonka three weeks to give me a proper showing of it all. If I were to show you every room in this factory now, with all the additions we have made since, it would take five years. This machine helps while traveling through it all! I can tell you are all curious about the adventures Mr. Wonka and I enjoyed together in this elevator."
...

"I will tell you! I will tell you! There is no need to beg me! After I won the contest, we went to go pick up my family. It was before I knew they were evil people. They were being bothersome, but we brought them along in this very elevator, and we all went into space!"

Tide raised her helmet up. Keerthi had never seen her stand straight, since her religion dictated that she maintain bad posture and always face sea level.

"We have been deep underground since the start of the tour," said Chetan. "She should have started looking up."

"Space," repeated Tide.

"Yes!" said Mr. Bucket. "We went to space. It was fun."
