Midnight Flood

The other day, in the midnight, we heard a sound of water running on the wall. It was so clear and real, that I immediately checked and found it was really water running from the ceiling of the small living room next to our bedroom. The sound was very loud like a wild spring in the mountain. There must be something wrong in the upstairs.

   I called the landlord, but he hung up the phone immediately after picking up. He must have been in a dream but I had to call. I called again, the sleepy man answered and I told him the serious problem. After a while, I heard some people rushing to my upstairs but the water was still running from the ceiling and the sound of river was still loud. I asked my husband to see what happened and I checked our wall cabinet which was also found leaking water. I quickly moved all the things out of the cabinet. Luckily, most of them were safe from the flood.

   Later, my husband came back and said that he helped with solving the problem. It turned out to be a water pipe blew out, but the landlord could not switch off the valve. My husband switched it off.

   Then, I mopped the water in the wash room and cleaned our wall cabinet. While, the carpet in the living room and our cabinet was full of water, but I could do nothing with it. In order to help blow the moisture away, two electric fans kept running in the living room for quite a few days.
