using the word breather
The rescue workers quickly assessed the wreckage and began searching for survivors. Never giving up hope they would continue searching until the area was clear of debris. After a time they stopped all work to take a moment to listen in the eerie quiet for a whisper of life. Then they heard the sound of someone gasping for air. Yes, they had a breather, a woman struggling to breathe, but alive!

Great story!
Thank you, Leland.
Intense, really well done, Patricia! This also speaks to the need to be still for a moment and listen, and I think that applies in all critical situations!
Thanks, J. What you say is so true We miss much when we rush into things.
Wow. This story has punch and I agree, our rescue workers are our heroes. 🙂 ❤
Yes, they are. I wanted the story to reflect that and their humanity.
Rescue workers are our heroes. Nice take on the challenge.
