What would you do?

A few years ago in my late teens I was walking by our station, I looked to the right and I saw the station gutter( I know, the third time today but it's the last time today I promise).

Now this is the station gutter, where all the neighbouring people from all the neighbouring towns come to board buses to different places with all types of street hawkers.

Now this gutter is filled with everything and when I mean everything thing I mean everything. I could swear I once saw a face pop out and go back down just as quick.

The water(if you can call it that) is thick and discolored with the occasional hot bubble just desiring to burst.

Shit, spit, piss, throw up, ALL OF IT.

Now I'm being overly specific for a reason and here's why.

Imagine walking with your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend then suddenly they just fell in. What would you do??

I asked my ex girlfriend this question and she said she would actually help me out, find water and somehow wash me down. Put me in a taxi and take me home for a proper bath. Can u believe that, she would actually bullshit like that.

What would I do? I thought about it honestly. Best case scenario, if she ever fell in, as she tries to get back out I would hold her head back in and watch her as she tries to struggle but will be held down by the thick tar like swamp-thing version in the gutter untill I see those bubbles surround her and watch her disappear down joining the beings of the abyss.

Worse case scenario, I'll walk away without turning back. So tell me honestly, what would u do
