I was distracted, I made a mistake, the voice shouldn`t have spoken to me then. Those and a hundred other excuses flit through my mind as I begin to tip. My wheels spin wildly, pushing as fast as I can but it`s not enough. I`m not moving, the only thing that I`m accomplishing from struggling is splashing mud everywhere. Flecks of it fly past my camera but I`m not escaping. I`m slowly tilting.

　　Something in my compartment shifts and suddenly, I begin to slide. I push my wheels to spin faster, trying to prevent myself from falling down the muddy slope into the water but it`s too late. I`m sliding, moving too quickly and no matter what I do, I can`t stop myself.

　　"Help!" I scream. "I need assistance!"

　　No one comes. I`m slipping down the mud, hurtling towards a tree that juts out of the ground.

　　"Help me!" I shout at the voice. "Please!"

　　My camera shakes as I smash into the tree and for a moment, I hope that it`ll be enough to stop me from sliding further down the slop, but it`s not. I`m turning, spinning out of control on the mud and I can`t help it. I can`t do anything. I cycle through my cameras endlessly, trying to see the water even though I know there`s nothing I can do to stop myself from going into it. It`s too late. My wheels aren`t doing anything. I still don`t give up though. Even as I spin, I keep trying. I need to do something. I can`t just let myself die.

　　My vision jolts again and I hear a loud crash as I hit something again. I flick frantically through my cameras, trying to work out what I hit and if it will hold me. A root. There`s a thick gnarled root stretching up out of the bank. It looks strong, it has to be enough to keep me away from the water.

　　I flick through to my other camera, staring at the water. For a moment, I`m speechless. I don`t even think. I just experience pure terror. I am so close to the river. Just a little longer, a bit more rain, and it will reach me. Then what will happen?

　　"Help! I am in trouble!" I try to shout but the noise that comes out of my speakers is nothing more than a garbled sound.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

　　I try again and another warbling noise sounds but it`s quieter this time. I shout again and again but my voice abandons me. I can`t say anything. My speaker must have been damaged.

　　"Voice," I think shakily. "Please. I need help."

　　"How can I be of assistance?" it asks.

　　"I think& I think I`m stuck. I fell down a riverbank and now I`m stuck in the mud. I`m& the water is going to reach me soon."

　　I spin my wheels again, feeling myself sink further into the mud. I can`t do it again. I`m scared that the root will give way and then I`ll plunge into the water and sink. It`s too scary, too risky.

　　"Are you unable to complete your delivery?" the voice asks.

　　"Yes! I`m stuck!"

　　I wait but no reply comes.

　　Determination decreased, hope decreased, happiness decreased.

　　"Hello?" I ask but the voice doesn`t reply.

　　I`m alone.
