The Elevator Shaft Zippo

This Zippo Lighter is a serious optical illusion. Is the elevator shaft going up, or is it going down? The Elevator Shaft Zippo has been perfectly crafted to confuse your brain with lines and shadows.

Every time I look at this Zippo Lighter, I get thrown for a twist. The design always seems to be completely different. This Zippo lighter changes with the light you're standing under, and also with the angle you look at it.

There's a story behind this Zippo. What's at the bottom of the elevator shaft? Why am I looking down it? How did it get built? These are questions that must be answered by the viewer.

Here's your Zippo Moment of the Day.

An old, frail man was 95 years old in 2009 - But that was ten years ago. He'd be older now, if not for the accident. We used to call him by his first name, 'Roger.' But his name hasn't been spoken around these parts in many moons.

Roger was fond of walking down the pier on hot summer nights, he had been doing this since he was a young man. Roger knew something lived in the lake. He thought he had caught a glimpse of the creature once or twice, but he never had any real evidence. Roger's neighbors all thought he was crazy, even the U.F.O. society denied his claims! But one lonely night, Roger's credibility completely changed.

As Roger walked down the lake shore's pier in the dead night silence, he couldn't help but feel that he was being followed. He kept walking up to the side of the pier, and taking a peak over the edge. Every so often, something would bob it's head out of the water and take a breath.

When Roger reached the end of the pier, he set down his walking cane and plopped himself onto a hard wooden bench. "Good back support" the old man grumbled. He thought he heard something splashing around in the water, and walked up to the edge of the pier. Something was in there, something deadly.

"Am I seeing things?" Roger whispered as he whipped out his elevator shaft Zippo for a little bit of light.

"NO!" Said a giant green creature as it leaped up out of the water and scooped Roger up with it's mouth.

And that's the Elevator Shaft Zippo Lighter Moment.
