"As I secured the safety rope, I discovered that the metal clip had been replaced with a flimsy plastic ring.My girlfriend, already on the soft ladder, dismissed my concern casually. "Ryan has got a ton of luggage. One clip isn't enough to keep it secure, so I gave him yours. Just wait for the next trip."In desperation, I pointed to the floodwaters surging past my chest. "But I can't swim!""Cut the drama, okay?" she huffed. "You're a swimming champ. What's the big deal about treading water for a bit? Ryan is related to my boss, and if anything happens to him, my promotion is down the drain. Can't you be reasonable?""Is his luggage more important than my life?" I shot back, lunging for the ladder.But she kicked me away. "I've checked. The water won't rise too fast. At worst, it'll reach your neck. You'll survive."Refusing to argue further, I watched the floodwaters rage higher and quickly pressed a special emergency beacon on my wrist."
