Roller Coaster

The handle bars fall onto my lap with a loud “chiss.” Slowly the roller coaster heads uphill, it rises with a “click” until it starts to slow down. The coaster lies on top of what looks like to be an endless fall. My heart starts to beat faster, I taste the sweat pulsating down my face, my hands loosing grip of the handle bar. There was only one way to go here, and that way is down. The cart starts to move once again, its nose pointing down. My stomach lurches as we rush downhill, I can barely keep my open because of all the air pushing against my face. I hear the screams of all the other riders. I raise my hands up from the bars, the strong air feels like small needles jabbing at my skin. I taste the fresh air as we end the drop. We speed through a curve and head straight into a corkscrew. I quickly feel the blood rush to my head, but before I know it I’m heading down another drop, before I can feel my stomach lurch again, we are shooting up a hill. My head flings back as I hit my head on the wooden backboard. “Owwww!” I scream, but before I know it, I’m re-docking back at the station. I want to go again!
