Michael was terribly afraid of the dark.

I was almost asleep when I heard my phone ringing. When I saw who was calling I could not breath anymore. 

Picture this: a call out of nowhere, and suddenly I'm told I have only 24 hours left to live. It's like a thunderbolt on an otherwise ordinary day. The voice on the phone doesn't give many details—just a countdown to the end of my life. Now, I'm left grappling with questions about what, where, when, and who will be there in my final moments. This unexpected news turns my usual thoughts into a deep reflection on the meaning of my life and the impact I've had.

Getting that call about my impending death in the next 24 hours turns an ordinary day into something incredibly intense

T = Topic

E = elaborate

S = summarize 

After a lot of tumbling and turning, I have decided to download the last friend app. 

The soft glow of the screen illuminated the dimly lit space, casting a surreal ambiance as I embarked on a quest for a companion. 

While navigating the app's profiles, it became a journey against the ticking clock, seeking a last friend in the digital realm. On my suprise, I got a text...

T = Topic

S = Summary 

E = Elaborate
