Fear

Me and my family were on vacation a to Niagara Falls a few years ago. We were about to travel across a huge whirlpool! I saw my life flash before eyes. I was in a cart load of about twenty people packed tightly together. The cart was being help above the rapid, churning water by one thin chord. It bent slowly as the cart slowly made its way off the platform. The deep, drowning water was deafening beneath me. The chord dipped down even further as we got closer to the center. If it were to snap, I would be taken down into the depths of the swirling abyss. The chord was dipping so low to the point of snapping and we were not even to the point of making the trip back. On the way back to the platform my eyes were glued shut. I was frozen in place. Fear overcame every inch of my being. I will never embark on such a dangerous journey again!
