"HURRY CALVIN! I'M GETTING SOAKED AND STANDING IN 3 FEET OF WATER" said Hobbes, who was drenched with water.
Calvin lost control of the bookshelf, and it crashed down the stairs.
Hobbes stopped it as it got to the bottom.
He pushed it over and up against the door.
Hobbes ran up the stair, completely forgetting about the backpack.
The backpack had 2 PopTarts, a can of tuna, another flashlight, two jackets, a blanket, and two extra batteries for the flashlights.
Hobbes reached the top of the stairs, and another wave hit.
There was now about 5 feet of water downstairs, and the backpack was sitting on the top of the bookshelf, which was 10 feet high.
"Hobbes, where's the backpack" said Calvin.
After Calvin said that, another wave hit.
There was 6 and a half feet of water downstairs.
"OH SHOOT, I LEFT IT DOWN THERE" said Hobbes.
"We can't have that get wet" said Calvin.
As Hobbes ran back down the stairs, another wave hit.
7 feet of water.
Hobbes reached the bottom, and was about to enter the water.
"I hate swimming, and I hate getting wet, but this is for survival" said Hobbes.
He dove into the water and swam over to the bookshelf.
He got to the book shelf and climbed to the top of it.
He through the backpack on the stairs, which were right above him, so he climbed up onto the stairs.
The backpack was still open, and when he picked it up, the flashlight rolled out and into the water.
"Calvin, we just lost our other flashlight" said Hobbes.
"Oh great, the batteries are fading on this one" said Calvin.
Hobbes continued to run up the stairs, and the backpack had a hole ripped in it, so the two extra batteries fell out.
"NO!" said Hobbes.
"What just happened" said Calvin.
"We just lost our extra batteries" said Hobbes.
He put his hand over the hole, and continued to run.
Another wave hit.
Hobbes finally made it to the top.
Then, the flashlight went out.
"Mmmmaaannn, it's dark and cold in heeerreee" said Hobbes, shivering.
He grabbed the jacket in the backpack and put it on.
"We're just gonna have to wait it out" said Calvin.
