Start Writing below

I’m standing on the edge. It’s too late to back out now. The rope and harness feels tight around my legs, yet my legs feel like jelly, my heart was pounding fast as a race car. I can’t believe I was bungy jumping! I closed my eyes tight and I started to turn around and I fell. I opened my eyes and started to scream.

As I screamed I felt like an angel falling from heaven. I breathed in and out then I felt calm. As i was calm i was imagining that i was in hawaii relaxing under the sun drinking a cool drink and i was also eating sushi!

I started to shake my head then I was heading for the water! I was saying in my head “goodbye world” then I closed my eyes calmly then my feet were tight then I noticed that it takes 5 minutes to fall so i had nothing to worry about.

When i said all of that i nearly fell on the water and then my eyes were almost popping out! My heart was racing then I breathed in and out. The boat sailed up to me. I holded my breath then the boat sailor untied my harness then I fell on the boat.

I dunked my head real hard. The sailor took me back to my family. I raced to my family and hugged them. I was terrified of that activity, my eyes looked tired and I said to them “can you buy me KFC?” and they didn’t replie.
