Bedtime stories

“… and they lived happily ever after.” The middle-aged woman closed the hardcover storybook.

“Awww… one more story!” The young girl pleaded.

“Yeah, just one more!” Her brother echoed.

“No kids, it’s bedtime already.” She replied in a firm yet gentle tone.

Seeing that there was no room for argument, the duo clambered into their respective beds. Their mother walked over their beds and gave them each their goodnight kiss.

“Mommy?” The girl called out.

“Hmm?”

“One day, I want to be a writer, and write great stories like that.”

“Yes you will, my dear girl. Now go to sleep.”
