Short story Respone
"The way up to heaven" is in both ways a suspense and mystery. The suspense of it is in the fact that elderly Mr. Foster purposely tormented Mrs. Foster in trying to leave at the farthest possible time to not make her late but so close that she stresses to the point that makes her twitch. The suspense came in again at the point when her flight got cancelled, and the next morning she was on her way back to the airport but had left her husband behind at the last minute after hearing him holler. The mystery in the short story is that the author never specifically told the readers that Mr. Foster was in the elevator, the author explained to us that she heard yelling. The husband had been stuck in the elevator for six weeks and Mrs. Foster knew the whole time. It got resolved by her going to her husbands study office and called the repair man to come fix her elevator. Roald Dahl created a suspenseful and mysterious short story.
