The elevator of the future

At the large shining software conglomerate, the elevator is fantastic, but it won't take me where I want to go. I want to go nine floors up. The elevator of the future takes me everywhere else -- up down, left right, inside, and outside the building, around the neighborhood, back inside the building, it shoots over horizontally to the mezzanine - where it does a few barrel rolls and split-s maneuvers. It does an immelman between floors 7 and 6 going down to floor 5. Now that I am late, I yank this "Disengage" type latch and the elevator slows down, settling back in the lobby. Then I wake up and hear my daughter cleaning her room.
