Natalie and Michael held hands. Waiting was sometimes the hardest, but they were determined.
How are you doing, Nat?
She shivered and leaned closer to Michael’s ear to whisper; better with you here next to me. I don’t think I could do this without you.
Awww, Nat, you’re stronger than you think. You could, but I have to say, I think it’s more fun with you next to me, too.
The carnie walked up, winked at Natalie and patted Michael on the shoulder. You’re all secure, folks.
He stepped back. The slingshot went off. Natalie shrieked. Then they both laughed.

Oh no no no, uh-uh, no way, never! They are braver than I am. I would not want to go out from a heart attack at 40 years old.
I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that is not very secure to my imagination~ 🙂
The older I get, the more anxious I get inside rides like that one. The wind in your hair and the scream on the air. 😉
Great descriptions.
Have mercy, that would terrify me. I could actually feel the adrenaline rush that comes from something like that. Great job, though that wouldn’t make me feel so secure, lol!
God bless you,
Cheryl
That was great rush
