"Way up to Heaven" is a suspense filled short story about a woman with a phobia of being late or missing a train. The story is about how Mrs. Foster is going on a trip to Paris to visit her daughter and her family, but her husband deliberately tries to make her late and put her in such a nervous state that the muscle in the corner of her left eye would twitch. Her and her husband have grown apart in the many years they have been together, lately Mrs. Foster could not even read the expressions he showed on his face, she could only read rage. So that day when Mrs. Foster was ready to leave for the plane and her husband took as much time as he could just to put her in that nervous state, her flight ended up being delayed. The next morning when her husband insisted on catching a ride with her, then tried to make her more late so he could go find a gift he wanted her to give to his daughter while she was there he went back into the house, and while he was in the house Mrs. Foster found the gift in the car she told chiefer to wait then went to the door but while she was there she heard the sound of the elevator get stuck her husband must have been in there so she decided to leave him there and go for six weeks without him as she planed and then come back and call the elevator fixers so they can find the dead body in the elevator and that's what she did. So because there was no evidence of her leaving him there she was off the hook because she had been gone the hole time he was in there rotting. The suspense was resolved in the end when Mrs. Foster came back and called the elevator repair man, so we put to and to together so that we know that the sound she heard while standing at the door was the elevator getting stuck because it didn't tell us that in the story. This story used red herrings when it didn't tell us what noise she heard but it did say a familiar noise and when she came back she said the elevator is stuck a gain so we assume that that means that it has gotten stuck before and that she has heard that noise before.
