Previously, I was in the past. I just turned ten, and I started to mow the grass. My dad told me it was the last, now I don’t have to mow the grass like my dad. Turning back to the days when I was ten, it was like a gasp of air wanting to go through my body with excessive force pushing me to the future: now, remembering the things that I’ve done in the past, what I call the good days, playing with my brother and sister, remembering all the times going to the playground and having fun...
Back in the future I go, and the day is over. The light is gone and the night light is on. Goodnight to the past, and I sleep with the future.
One day, me and my family went to an amusement park that had rides. We went there because we were tired of walking on the boardwalk, so we choose to go and get on some rides.
Shawnte said, “What ride you all want to get on?”
Te’shawn replied, “BUMPER CARS!!!!”
As Te’shawn got into the bumper car, you could see the excitement in his smile and face. It was like his very first driver’s test.
“He’s a bad driver.” I replied.
After we got on a few rides, Shawnte, Jada, and I wanted to get on this haunted ride. Jada screamed, “I want to get on the scary ride!!”
As we get on the ride, you could hear her screaming with the fake dead zombies and mannequins with fake blood. Down in the dark tunnel with flashing lights, the doors slammed open with a loud bang. The doors looked like they had come from an old castle dungeon with no peep hole for you to see. I could feel the sweat form into my hands and knew there was fear in my eyes.
“Cover your eyes!!!” yelled Jada.
As we got closer to the end, someone came out of the side and screamed and startled us out of fear.
Then there was a matter of darkness. You could see the exit sign, but there was more to the ride. As we went down a steep hill and outside we could see everyone else, even the person working the ride…
Back into the tunnel, there was smoke and flashing red lights, growls of a wolf, and and a woman screaming for dear life.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” screamed Jada as she covered her eyes .
As we got down deep into the tunnel, you could smell the smoke that came up and out of the side walls, and it smelled like a fire. Looking down in the tunnel, there was nothing but darkness. Every time someone screamed there was a scream and flich.
“HOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!” Jada yelled.
As we got closer to another turn, and another pair of double doors swung and slammed open, a very scary skeleton was next to the door. The skeleton’s eyes were deep, dark, and black. It was like he had no soul. Then his jagged and shaggy clothes looked like they came off of a poor homeless man, along with his dirty teeth and his dusty bones, and his smile with sharp teeth. It was like it was a scary movie.
“I WANT OFF THIS RIDE!!!!!!!!!” I screamed.
Closer to the end of the ride, we could see the red exit sign. With the relief of fear, I had gotten bold were I didn’t flinch and cover my eyes. The more of the gruesome screams we heard, it seemed like the person who was screaming was behind us. More of the flashing lights came on, flickering like in scary movie. One last turn and another pair of doubled doors, and were finally at the end of the ride. At the end we could see a fake dead body hanging like it had just fallen from a window.
“FINALLY OFF THIS RIDE!!!!!” I said with annoyance in my voice .
As I turned around to see my cousin Shawnte, I realized that she was in back of us the whole time, with a scrunched up face with a little smile in between. As we got off, I was no longer scared any more and completely uncovered my eyes.
“Was it scary??!!!”Asked Te’shawn
“Nope. It wasn’t scary at all!!” I replied, acting like I hadn’t been scared.
After riding the last ride, we went home and I told my sister the whole entire experience of me being on a haunted ride.
