David groaned as he shifted, and then, suddenly, heard something above. He wasn't sure what it was, until he heard a voice, calling out. He surged to his knees a shot of pain filling his side.
"Hello! Yes. I'm down here. Be careful where you step! The floor is damaged or rotted. I fell through it to the basement, I think, and can't find a way out."
He felt a shot of relief, even as he hoped the other man would not end up in the same predicament.
