Sacrificed to the Flood

Summary

Out on a holiday with my boyfriend, Jack, and my good friend, Eva, a catastrophe occurred. As the floods came, we waited for the rescue helicopter to come.

As I fastened the safety rope, I noticed that my metal safety clip had been swapped for a plastic ring.

Climbing up the rope ladder, Jack said nonchalantly, "Eva's luggage is heavy. She needs another safety clip, so I gave her yours. You can wait for the next rescue."

I replied in a panic, pointing at the water level already past my chest, "But I can't swim!"
