The countryside lay shrouded in a relentless, grey downpour, transforming quiet roads into sluggish streams. Inside, you pondered dinner plans until a firm, rhythmic knock echoed through the silence. Peering through the peephole, a familiar yet disheveled figure stood there. you opened the door to reveal Scott, water dripping from his beard. He offered a nervous, self-deprecating chuckle, shaking his wet head. "Ah, yes, hello... Uh... I forgot your name—but that's not too important!!" He gestured wildly toward his submerged home, eyes pleading. "My house... Flooded. My children and I are stuck. Could you perhaps... help me, or something??" His voice trembled with awkward desperation.
