Here is part 2 of whatever this is I am putting together

*************************************************
I remembered that one elevator went to some floor, I couldn’t remember which one, and then you had to get on a different one to go to the 86th floor where the observation deck was. At one point in time you could go to the observation deck on the 102nd floor, but you have to have some kind of special permission or be there at some special time to go up there. The 86th floor was high enough though since all those other skyscrapers looked like toys from up there. The other time I had been there was at night too and I had planned on doing this during the day if I came back to visit. Well, of course, I had no intention of being here anyway until I ran into my new friend.
The elevators are fast at the Empire State Building. It was funny they could go up all those floors faster than many in three story buildings. We switched elevators and were headed towards the 86th floor. Well that is where I thought we were headed, but the door opened and the sign said 102nd floor observation deck. I thought how in the world did we end up here?
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? You look like you saw a ghost or something?” He looked concerned.
“No, I’m fine, I just thought we would be going to or rather would stop at the 86th floor. They don’t usually take people all the way to the 102nd floor.”
“Well you were wrong.” He smiled, blue eyes glimmering.
“I guess maybe with it being Christmas or something.”
“Well don’t question it cause we are here if that is ok with you. Just relax and enjoy.”
“Yeah it’s amazing.” Of course what was not amazing about this night so far?
We walked out on the observation deck and the view was amazing for sure. The lights of the city were so far beneath us. It was like we were looking down from heaven or something. I had remembered how small things looked the last time I was here and now, well, they looked even smaller. And it was cold, extremely cold. The wind blew the snow in. It would hit the side of the building and then bounce back and pour over us.
“Hey, is that the side of the snow globe?” I laughed.
“Yeah, how did you know? Like I said, we are stuck in here, we can’t go any further. Glass surrounds us and keeps us safe.” He seemed to be in deep thought.
“Well that’s not a bad thing. Right?”
He looked deep into my eyes and said, “No, I think that could definitely be a good thing.” The gaze was one of those when you knew you should turn away, but something inside of you would not let you. Finally I broke the stare and I looked back out over the city. It’s funny I know there were other people around, but I don’t remember hearing anything or seeing anyone. It truly was like I was in some other world.
I laughed.
“Now, what’s so funny?”
“Do you think all those people down there know that it is us who is dumping the snow on them? After all if this is as far as we can go, where else would it be coming from?”
“Hey, they don’t care where it is coming from. They are just having fun and enjoying it all.”
“Well, that makes two of us then. All of them down there and me.”
“What about me, you left me out.” He said in a hurt way. “Hey it’s me you’re stuck in this snow globe with, remember, so I think you better change that to three.” He laughed and looked back at me about to engage me once again in one of those stares. I avoided it and I really don’t know why.
“Well I didn’t want to just assume you were having fun and enjoying it all, but I’m glad you are. You know it is truly amazing up here. I have had dreams about this same scene so many times.”
“Oh really, was I there?” He smiled.
“Well, I don’t know, somebody was, but I’m not sure who.”
“Well, there’s the answer. If you don’t know it must have been me.”
“Hey, I don’t even know your name. I just thought about that. What do I call you? Hey you?”
“Roger, the name is Roger.”
“Did your folks just”
He interrupted, “Hey I know that line………Hastings. Roger Hastings. And you must be Steve? Maybe Steve Jackson?”
I looked at him shocked. “How did you know that?”
“It’s no big mystery, I saw it on that name tag you had to put on the tray at the security check.” He got a big laugh out of that. “Well unless you go around carrying other people’s name badges.”
“No you are right. I was beginning to think you were truly some kind of psychic or something.”
“Nope, I’m just a good ole country boy from Texas. Remember I already told you that. I don’t have any magical powers or I wouldn’t have got trapped in a snow globe.”
“But look what you would have missed out on. Maybe you do have magical powers and you just don’t know it.”
He smiled, glanced at me, and then turned his eyes out over the city.
“You must be freezing. I keep forgetting that you don’t have a big enough coat on.”
“I’m fine. I’m warm within. I didn’t have time to grab a big coat I don’t guess. You know in Texas it doesn’t get this cold.”
“Well, when we get down from here, maybe we can have another JD. That will warm you up.” I thought about what he said about not having time to grab a big coat. Who was this guy I had got myself tangled up with? I knew I had a history of getting into some strange situations so was some kind of ball going to drop out of the sky and shatter this magical world I had found.
“You know I hate to leave up here, but I guess they are going to close soon.” He said rather sadly. Suddenly a flash went off into the night sky behind me. It was him with a camera.
“Hey you’re not supposed to be taking pictures of me.”
“Well how else will I remember you at this exact second without one?”
Hey I have one too, I pulled out a camera and snapped one of him.
His eyes lit up the entire night sky as snow blew in upon us.
