Life slipped away from Tobias with each passing second, his eyes growing lost and empty. Ivan's desperation to help his friend surged, but the rubble was too heavy. Fear gripped him, threatening to cloud his thoughts.
Then a realization struck him, almost making him curse out loud.
Instead of him wasting time trying to lift the debris by hand, hurting himself in the process, why not just lift it using the same method he had earlier? When he thought of this, he almost had the urge to slap himself but that obviously would have hurt, neither did he have the time to indulge in his frustration.
