Once upon a time, there were three best friends named Lily, Max, and Emma. They loved telling each other scary stories. One day, they heard about the Horror Stories of One Minute. They were excited to try it out.
Lily went first. She started her story, and after exactly one minute, she disappeared! Max and Emma were terrified. They didn't know what had happened.
Max decided to try next. He started his story, but just like Lily, he vanished into thin air after one minute. Emma was all alone now!
Emma was scared, but she didn't want to give up. She took a deep breath and began her own story. As the seconds ticked by, she felt a strange tingling sensation, but she kept going.
When the minute was up, Emma's story ended, and she closed her eyes, expecting to disappear too. But to her surprise, she was still there!
She opened her eyes and saw Lily and Max standing before her. They were safe and sound. Emma had broken the curse!
They realized that the Horror Stories of One Minute were just a test of their friendship. If they stuck together and believed in each other, they would always be safe.
From that day forward, Lily, Max, and Emma had even stronger bonds. They continued to tell scary stories, but now they did it knowing that their friendship would protect them.
