Example Short Story:
One stormy night, I was walking home alone through a dense forest. Suddenly, I heard a low, raspy breathing right behind my ear. I froze, my heart racing like a drum. I slowly turned my head, expecting to see a monster, only to find a huge, friendly cow looking for shelter from the rain!
