Sometimes, having a daring heart isn’t a good thing.
“Watch me!” My older sister, Abby, sang as she danced on the ice while I stood at the edge. I have many fears unlike Abby who treated life as a series of dares and adventures.
“Be careful!” I shouted and turned around, looking for a rock to sit but before I could take one step, a loud crack stopped me in my tracks. I turned, Abby was nowhere to be seen. “Abby!”
A hand shot up in the middle of the lake. Without a second thought, I ran to her. “Abby!”

For sure, never stand on ice especially when it’s thin.

Indeed, if you have to lay flat and pull yourself across to distribute your weight.

I hope not. I hope at least one of them comes out in the end.

Yea, not sure running across to help is going to end the best way for either of them.

Maybe she can pull her sister out or maybe the thin ice will do the same thing to her. Hard to say…

Being an optimist, I assume they made it back for her to tell the story.

Judging from how the story was told with the use of past tense, it kinda sounded like a memorial speech rather than a story.
