The prompt I chose from Mama Kat's Writer's workshop (click above to link up!) is:
Can you almost stop time with your words? Write about the fastest ride you ever had, but describe only a few seconds of it…as though it was happening to slow motion.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZipper.Metal clangs into place. It's too late now, to turn back. I shiver beside my sister in law, who looks exactly the opposite of me. We giggle. I have not been on any type of roller coaster or fast moving ride for at least five years- before I was pregnant with my first child.
Engine starts, like a heart throb, we go up, and over dizzying flurry starting in my forehead. Upside down, my hair hangs, whips against my chin, eyes, lips parted in a horrific, choking, but uproarious scream as my eyes open, lights stretch into lines that zag around into a curlicue once again, as we flip over the center bar, losing our breath.
Brandon and I on the Tidal wave
I'm gonna get you!
(Nyssa and Stephie-my sister in law- on the Tidal Wave)
(Brandon and Nyssa together on the Zipper- Steph and I went together because we didn't want to spin much...none of us knew we had no control over the matter.)
