IMPROMPTU #83: Tent Zipper

Today's prompt: "The sound of a tent zipper."

What do you think of when you hear that sound? What will happen next?

Stronger than I've been before. (Thanks Ariana Grande.) The light feels so good after so much darkness.

Today's prompt: "A door closed. The next thing I knew..."
