It was early in the morning, the sun was out, but no one was really stirring yet. I heard a helicopter flying around outside so I got up to look out the window. The helicopter was blocky and red with tubular steel flying sporadically and very close to the ground.
I watched the mustached man in helicopter dip quickly down in front of the house, and then again towards the back of the house. As he was passing over the roof, the tail rotor clipped the chimney and dug into the roof.
Inside the house, the door frame to the bedroom began to creak and twist. I hurriedly jumped though the moving door just as the frame and the ceiling collapsed down. The ceiling and door did not really crumble but shifted and bent down like a piece of rubberized fabric being folded. A small triangular opening was left into the room at the bottom of the door.
I came back into the room to check on my wife. She was fine, and the room had only collapsed from two diagonal corners of the room. I called into work and family to let them know of the incident.
I started to head into the attic as my family watched on. The helicopter had knocked loose a strut that played a significant role in the structure of my house. The strut was shifting and flexing causing attached struts to do the same.
When I looked back into the room, the door and ceiling started to heal itself back to its former condition. The ceiling in the middle of the room began to droop and slump down like a large solid plasterish drop of water. It continued to elongate towards the floor. Suddenly the drooping ceiling burst... tools, plaster, and insulation flew out everywhere. My hammer seemed to stand out as significant over the rest of the tools. It seems that it was the weight of the tools that caused the ceiling to droop.
I went back up in the attic... it was easy to see everything due to the light coming through the hole in the roof carved from the helicopter rotor. I headed to the corner of the attic, and opened two white glass paned french door that led to a small closet like room.
