Snippet #2189721

Chris:

Christopher felt very tired when he carried the last dummy down from the roof.
He didn’t know for just how long he had been inside the burning building.
He couldn’t keep track of the time, and looking at the wristwatch wasn’t an option.

For a brief moment he had to take a break on the stairs, since his legs felt all wobbly.
Something wasn’t right it was getting hard to breath.
He brushed it off as a lack of water, and exercise, since he had forgotten to drink at least some water before starting the test. That might explain the dizziness too.
Sure, he had had a sip of coffee, but that was about it.

Christopher blushed as he thought of what had happened in the break room.
He shook his head as he tried to snap out of it, right now he didn’t have time to get distracted.
He coughed shortly before heading towards the entrance of the building.
This was the last dummy and then he would just have to wait and see what the verdict was.

The sun was hiding behind a cloud and the wind was nice and cool as Christopher stepped out of the building.
“So” he said and suppressed a cough “Did i pass?” placing the dummy on the ground.
He smiled widely and took the helmet off, followed by the Nomex hood.

He covered his mouth before coughing and used the wall for support.
He wiped his mouth with the back of his gloved hand, noticing the ever so slightly discoloured salvia.
“Ah... so that’s it” ha said and tried to crack a smile “The helmet came loose when i dropped the doll...”
At least his voice wasn’t hoarse and he didn’t have a headache yet.
He held onto Sam’s jacket, swaying slightly.
“I didn’t do as well as hoped for, huh?”
