Rainy Season Palava

Good morning guys, this is my first time posting a story please help me drop some reasonable likes.
So, going straight to the point, I woke up yesterday to realise that rain was falling heavily. It totally discouraged me from going to work but I just couldn't go late or even dare to miss.
So, I prepared and took an umbrella and left but on getting to the bridge, I discovered that the rain has already swept off the plank that was there and people were stranded including me because there was no other way. So, some people or let me say group of guys summoned courage and decided to enter the river to see how deep it was but the first person that entered almost got drowned because the river was too deep and on seeing that I concluded that there wasn't any option for me than to call and explain the scenario to my boss. To cut the long story short, I took permission and went back home.
