The Long River
I look down as I am shivering in fright. I want to turn back but my legs are glued to the
wobbly unstable bridge.
I can only think of the worst. “What if I hit my head on the big boulders?”
“What if I get so scared I jump off and land in the wrong spot?”
The man tells me that everything will be OK. I am really really scared of heights and I am only doing this so my best friend can trust me.
Kira is standing beside me looking like she is having the time of her life.
Our emotions are clearly on completely different ends of the spectrum.
I needed to do this no matter what. There was NO turning back.

“Kayla you can do this.” “Kayla you can do this.” “Kayla you can do this.” “NO I CAN’T!”
My eyes started to water as if I was going to start crying. Kira stuck her hand out for me to hold. She started slowly counting down from 10. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4… JUMP! My feet stuck but kira’s feet jumped.
She dragged my feet away from the wood as if you were pulling out a glued in maths sheet.
I slowly felt my hands getting all tingly. We started falling. I swear that every muscle in my body felt
like it had just been set on fire. Everything went tight and tense. My breathing completely stopped.
I forgot everything I have ever lived for. The only thing that was going through my mind was the
fact that I was plummeting down into a stream at what seemed like 200 km an hour. I felt like I was going to fall and then a huge invisible mouth was going to eat me whole.

My nose was only a few inches away from the water.
Me and kira were bobbing up and down. Someone came in a boat and unlocked us and
we both flopped into a small little mustard yellow and chocolate brown boat. She said to me
“You are committed arent you?”

Hi Nevaeh,
ReplyDeleteI Loved how discriptive your piece of writing was and, it really hooked me in, You should think abut adding abit more punctuation but apart from that I really enjoyed reading your piece of writing.
