The best day ever!
Little Lucy was so excited to go to bed, for tomorrow was going to be the best day ever! Just one more sleep until her 8th birthday!
The dining room already decorated with pink balloons and purple streamers. The table set with polka dot plates and matching napkins. Waffles and ice cream waiting in the freezer for a delicious breakfast, and a big chocolate birthday cake in the fridge. Lucy picked out her favorite sunflower dress for her birthday party and she was excited to wear her new pink bow.
Everything was ready for her big day, she couldn't wait! Lucy jumped into bed but she couldn't fall asleep. She was just too excited!
Minutes went by, and then hours. And still she couldn't fall asleep.
"How am I going to wake up in the morning if I don't sleep", she said. More minutes and hours went by and still she couldn't sleep.
Lucy remembered her dad had special pills for his chronic back pain that always made him go to sleep, so she tiptoed out of bed to the medicine cabinet and took two little pills. "Wow, I feel funny", she thought to herself. But it certainly felt great! She quite enjoyed the dizzy feeling.
She went back to bed and in no time she was sleep.
But Lucy never woke up. She overdosed and died, thereby missing her birthday party.
The end.
