Scream
“Tom, hold on tight!” shouted my mother.
“Don’t lean out of the seat!” yelled my father from the seat behind me.
As the roller coaster sped down the first slope, it felt as if we were flying. The hill had not been terribly steep, but I was still relieved when we got to the bottom.
The coaster almost came to a complete stop as it reached the top of the next hill. This was even higher than the first hill. I could see across the entire carnival grounds. The vibrant colors all around were exciting and beautiful. Everything looked tiny and far away. Even the people appeared to be no bigger than miniature toys.
The coaster began to roll again. Soon we were increasing in speed.
My baseball cap flew off! Luckily, my father caught it. My cousin Kirk, who was sitting beside Dad, screamed.
“What a scaredy cat!” I thought to myself. I wasn’t going to scream! Still, I closed my eyes and hoped we would soon be at the bottom.
When I felt the coaster gradually slowing down, I opened my eyes again. We were going up an even larger hill than the last one. Slowly, the coaster climbed upwards. I hated the way the coaster vibrated, jerked, and clanked. It seemed like it could topple off the tracks at any moment. I knew how terrified I would be on the ride down.
When we reached the top of the final hill, the people below seemed like ants. I thought, This will be some ride down! This was the scariest hill of all. This was the scariest roller coaster of all! I felt terrified and horrible and happy all at
once…and I joined Kirk in a loud scream as we flew down the hill at breakneck speed. Whoosh !
