13. Hanging by A Thread

HANGING BY A THREAD 13 I need to do something, or I'll be smashed! Sam thought. He lay flat as a board. He pushed his feet forward as the water rocketed him toward the end of the pipe.

Gallons of water were pouring out of the pipe and splashing to the floor below. But then the flow of water began to slow.
