The water was running

out of the faucet

and onto the

floor and

it was

making

the bathmat wet

so I reached forward in the

tub but when you go forwards you

have to shift your legs to reach to the taps

and accidentally I stuck my toe into the faucet

and tried to shut the water off but it stayed on so

I shouted out for help but no one heard me yell

so I grabbed the vase on the ledge by the tub

and threw it at the open window with the

hope that someone would find it and

read the message I wrote on it.
