Alicia was hungry, and it was a hunger that could not be ignored. She was pregnant and her cravings had intensified in the last few days.
She walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, hoping to find something to satisfy her hunger pangs. She rummaged through the contents, but nothing caught her fancy. Frustrated, she closed the refrigerator and looked around the kitchen, hoping to find something else to eat.
Her eyes fell on a box of cookies on the top shelf. Alicia loved those cookies. They were her favorite, and she had been saving them for a special occasion. But this was an emergency. She reached for the box, but it was too high for her to reach. She climbed onto a chair and stretched as far as she could. Just as she was about to grab the box, she lost her balance and fell. In the process, she knocked over a fine China plate that belonged to Karen.
Thankfully she was not hurt in any way.
