"I was standing in front of a very long bridge. It was old and made of wood and metal. A dark river flowed far below it. The water was loud and fast, and I could hear it hitting the rocks.
The sky was dark, and strong wind was blowing. I could feel the cold wind on my face. I knew I had to cross the bridge to reach the other side.
I slowly stepped onto the bridge. The wooden boards made a loud sound under my feet. I held the metal railing tightly and looked straight ahead.
When I reached the middle of the bridge, I heard a loud CRACK! I looked down and saw that one of the wooden boards had broken. My heart started beating very fast.
Suddenly, the bridge began to shake. The wind became stronger, and some pieces of wood fell into the river below. I was very scared.
I wanted to run back, but I heard another loud crack behind me. Part of the bridge had fallen into the river. I knew I could not go back.
I took a deep breath and slowly moved forward. I held the railing with both hands and carefully stepped over the broken boards.
When I was only a few steps from the other side, the bridge shook again. I jumped forward and landed safely on the ground.
I turned around and saw most of the bridge falling into the dark river. The sound of the water became louder as the broken pieces disappeared.
I stood there breathing heavily. I was still shaking, but I felt safe because I had made it across.
Then I suddenly woke up. My heart was still beating fast, and for a moment, I felt like I was still standing on the bridge."
