The most dilemmatic moment I have faced

  I have always been an absent-minded person. Whenever people warn me about something that i need to be careful of, I always ignore it. The tragedy came one time, and i could never forget it, the most dilemmatic  moment i have faced.
 That day, i carried my cellphone to the toilet as usual, it's a new one, and I bring it everywhere I go.
My mom always warns me of not putting the cellphone in the pocket, it might fall out; however i never listen to her. I went into the toilet, do the "initial steps" in the bathroom. Just about the moment i was going to squat down. And i was thinking in my mind: "oh! My cellphone is in my pocket!" , the tragedy happened. I heard the sound of splash beneath me. I wasn't that panic at the moment because i dropped the money in the toilet for a couple times, it was no big deal to me. But when i looked down, and felt the pocket lightened, I knew I'm in trouble. I started screaming. Oh my god! It's my cellphone sinking! It's new! It's not waterproof! I need to save it! Here comes the dilemma, the water was kind of dirty, although i haven't done the "toilet action". What if the person went into this toilet was doing the "big deal", what if she had a diarrhea? God, I can't stop imagining how dirty is the toilet. But that is my cellphone inside. The more time i spend to think about picking it up or not, the less chance will it  be still usable.
  I've made up my mind, i closed my eyes, and put my hand into the cold water. My hands were shaking, trying to reach my cellphone. I can feel the cool and wet touching of the water, that feeling went through my finger tip to my wrist. How can the toilet be so deep? As i reached my cellphone, i tried to stress my fingers to grab it, but it slipped. Almost all of the swear words came into my mind, I condemned myself of doing this stupid thing. I tried again, holding it tight in my hand.
  The screen was black, i think it has shut down because of the water. I walked to the faucet, wondering if i should wash my hand, and also wash my cellphone. It's will be wet again! But it's dirty! "Nah!Screw it! It's wet already and it will work if it's not broken, I'm going to wash it anyway!" That is what i was thinking. So i washed it and i washed my hands. Totally forgot the main purpose that caused this tragedy. I guess my urine has evaporated when the cellphone dropped.  
 I went out of the bathroom, and saw my friends playing with their cellphone, and told me "Hey! I heard someone screaming in the toilet, did you heard that?" "Um, yes...?" I showed them my cellphone after taking a nice shower, and they all started laughing at me, ask if I'm going to call my mom with it. What a beautiful day with my awesome friends!
  My cellphone, of course, is destined to be a sleeping beauty for the rest of it's life. And I will never ever bring a cellphone with me into the bathroom again, since this experience is so remarkable.

  1. Hi Kelly,

    Your words can always make people laugh. It is really an interesting writing but it is suggested that your title be revised to a "dramatic" experience or something alike since this experience is not that related to "dilemma". This writing is well-organized and it develops in a dramatic way. Your word-choice and expressions are so intriguing that make readers want to know what happens next and in the end!

    I think you have own a great sense of humor and that has reflected on your words. Well-done and keep that sense!^^

    (This one is a funny yet close-fitting expression: My cellphone, of course, is destined to be a sleeping beauty for the rest of it's life.) The sleeping-beauty is a great metaphor!
