Jackson O.'s Memoir

The Six Flags Scare

I couldn’t stop running. The sun kept beating own on my head and I wished I could find Mr. M. in time! I tried to push back the panic, but it was no use. Feelings of despair washed over me as I realized the park would be closing in ten minutes. Mom would know what to do! I raced to my friend Robert M.’s house, because my mom and dad went out for their anniversary. When I arrived, they exclaimed that it would be a good idea to travel to Six Flags! My heart kept pounding! I couldn’t wait! We left at exactly 9:30 a.m.
When we arrived, Robert and I rushed straight to Bizzaro. That is one of the biggest rollercoasters in the world. The people who came were me, Robert, Mr. M., and Robert’s brother, Peter. After we rode every single ride, all of us walked to the water park because Peter hurt his leg. This is where fun turned to fear.
Peter and Mr. M. slid on one slide, and Robert and I slid on another. Mr. M. told us to meet him by Johnny Rockets Restaurant. The slide Robert and I went on, made us want to go on it again, even though Mr. M. told us not to. While we were arriving in line, there were two paramedics, and they were assisting an old man out of the water because his breathing wasn’t good. Everyone had to get out of the water. Robert and I were so scared that it ended up as Peter and Mr. M. in the water park and me and Robert in the REAL park! Right when Robert and I got to the real park, there were ten minutes left before it closed down. I rushed to the waterpark and Robert ran to the regular park.
I started thinking, “what if we don’t find them? What if Robert finds them, and they can’t find me?” All of these thoughts made me run as fast as ever. Oh my gosh! I actually found them! YES!
“Hey, you guys seen Robert?” I exclaimed.
Peter responded, “No, where is he?” After that Peter, Mr. M. and I went looking for him. Guess what? Robert rode on Bizzaro.
“Oh my gosh,” I screamed.
Up walks Robert. “Hey guys, I rode on Bizarro!”
Then I belted out, “You were worried, right?”
“No way,” said Robert.
On that day, I realized that when you become lost, you don’t need to panic because panicking is the worst feeling when you become lost.
Instead of panicking, you should not sorry and try to find assistance. You should look for someone with a badge on.
