Lucky to Be Alive

My already illuminated room glowed from another flash of lightning. It was time that I left my looks alone.

I switched the light off and made my way to my window. I felt my nerves travel from the tips of my fingers all the way through my body as I slowly slid the window open. I had to be quite or else I would be grounded.

I would hate to find out what would happen if they knew where I was off to.

I was halfway out of the window when I heard a knock on my door. My body locked itself stiff, like I was playing a game of statues.

I was about to be caught.
