The Ride by Omarri Appleton
When I was younger, I went to a fun amusement park on May 5, 2018 with my two childhood friends, Yashar (looks about 5’1”, light skin) and Deonte (looks about 5’1”, dark skin), and when I had arrived with my friends, I saw so many things I never saw before. But out of all these amazing things we saw, one thing caught our eyes. It was a ride named the Slingshot. When I saw it, I was filled with glee, but Yashar and Deonte were a little scared about going on this ride. So I told them, “I will be with you every step of the way.” I ran there with my little feet, I could hear the “click clack” of my shoes on my way there. When I arrived, there was a strange man that was like 20 feet tall, who told us the instructions before we got on this bizarre ride. We jumped onto this ride. The tall man said, hold on tight. I immediately felt anxious, but surprisingly, very excited about the outcome. The man started counting down: 3, 2, 1, and we were shot into the sky. While this was happening, something unexpected happened: the ride turned into a dragon. Yashar and Deonte were freaking out, but oddly enough, I was calm, because I could feel everything from its scaly back to its slow breathing. The dragon started to spread his wings. I could feel the wind brush past my face at max velocity, my ears started to ring because of the winds. When the dragon slowed down, it felt like I was on top of the world. I felt as though I could grab it, I could see everyone as little ants. After some time passed after being king of the world, the dragon started to descend onto the floor, and I was astonished at how amazing that feeling was. I dismounted off this amazing creature, feeling very sad that I must leave, and almost felt that the dragon felt the same way because I saw its eyes and it gave off the sensation that it didn’t want me to leave, so I decided that every week we would come back to this ride and this became a joyous occasion for us all.
