Beneath the Landslide

My first reaction when I encountered the landslide was not to run, but to immediately call Ethan.

After all, Ethan always nagged at me, and I can almost hear him saying, "You can't do anything right; I always have to come to help."

The phone rang for ages before it finally connected, and by then, the landslide had knocked me to the ground.

"Yes? What is with you? Calling eight hundred times a day… Don't you ever get tired of it? I told you I'm working; I don't have time.

"Hello? If you're not going to say anything, I'm hanging up. I've got other things to do."

Beep, beep!
