Dear Elena,
The victim of a car crash called the station.
His voice was shaking
And his eyes were tired.
"I need help," he cried. "Somebody help me."
We all need help.
"Sir, I'm sending an ambulance right away."
He thanked me,
And hung up.
He said his wife was in the car.
He said she was alive.
She wasn't.
Love, Ida
