Roller Coaster

Emily Yang (11) | STAFF REPORTER

I don’t know how I got here. Placed on this specific seat. There is this strange fatefulness about this, as if it’s been carefully set and picked out for me, all of it. Looking around, I notice the endless blue sky, white clouds floating peacefully. The track ahead is white metal. I’m sitting in a singular car, the seat lined with red leather. The seatbelt fastened around me has no buckle. No one around, nothing behind me. No way out.

From the furthermost parts of my hearing, I sense a faint beeping noise. It evenly gets louder, and soon I’m covering my ears to try and stop my head from pounding. I jolt backwards as the car suddenly surges forward, with a speed at which I don’t expect it to stop anytime soon. The pale blue turns to flashing white as I start to cut through the wind. Discomfort hits my skin. I can’t breathe, I can’t see, I can’t hear, I can’t think. The track twists and turns, jerking me around the car. Its metal sides leave my ribs in excruciating pain. Curling up in a fetal position on my seat, the anxiety makes me hysterical. Tears are flying off my face with the momentum. The wind swallows my sobs.

I’ve been on this ride for what feels like a lifetime. The wind feels more familiar. The car almost seems as if it has slowed down. I slowly loosen my grip and allow myself to open my eyes. Lifting up my head, I take in the view. The sun is setting. Golden hour. Orange rays of sun warm my face. I sit back and relax my limbs. The track makes small hills, going up and down.

Assuming I don’t intend on venturing out somewhere, I don’t use any extra products to my hair whatsoever, but, in the case tadalafil cheapest that you do, Revita adheres nicely to whatever hair-styling products like gel, spritz, or hairspray.

It gets darker and darker. The sun is halfway gone. The track takes sharper turns and dramatic loops. I tense up again. Panic floods my chest. The car takes a dip. It felt like I was falling. Before I could scream, the track went back up. I take a look at the sun, it is three quarters of the way set. The track swings me back and forth, going upside down and around. My shoulders start to ache from all the pressure. 

The track starts to take a steady rise upwards. I let out the breath I’d been holding in relief that I’m no longer being whirled around. I rest my head against my seat and close my eyes. I’m getting tired. The car starts to slow down as it pulls into a right-side up position, almost to a stop. I try to look around to see what is going on around me, but I can barely make out anything in the darkness. I feel the car start to go downwards. 

As the sun disappears entirely behind the horizon, I drop. I fall at an angle that feels greater than ninety degrees. Surreal fear courses through my body. With a soul-crushing screech, I plunge into a hole of black.
