All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.
Sarah and her little sister, Lily, shared a room and a set of bunk beds. Sarah always slept on the bottom bunk because she was afraid of heights, while Lily loved to climb up to the top bunk and pretend she was a princess in a castle.
One night, a storm raged outside and the wind howled through the trees. Sarah and Lily huddled together on the bottom bunk, listening to the thunder and lightning. Suddenly, a loud crack echoed through the room and the top bunk collapsed onto the bottom bunk, narrowly missing the sisters.
Shaken but unharmed, Sarah and Lily climbed out of the wreckage and looked at each other in disbelief. "I guess it's time to get new beds," Sarah said with a smile.
From that day on, Sarah and Lily each had their own bed, but they still slept in the same room. And every time they heard a storm outside, they hugged each other a little tighter, grateful to be safe and sound.
