Which Filly?

We have a different sort of challenge for today's writing:
Jenny posted, "Your writing challenge is to write a story in fives. 
Five sentences consisted of five words EACH.
25 words."

Five sentences. 
Five words in each sentence. 
5 x 5 = 25


So,  I poured my coffee.  
I typed my first line.  
It took off from there. 
I will probably speak in 5-word sentences all day!


She sprinted to the barrel.
Her loose hair swept back.
The wind scrubbed her face.
She moved swift as lightning.
No filly could race faster!
