Rapid Waters by Gavin

It was one of those blazing Fridays where you parents make you wear short pants, short shirt, and then you get a short haircut. Then you still start to sweat. A day where if you fall down on the sand, you burn until you get boiled. This was a Friday on the beach. I tried to pull out a blanket to block the sand I was sitting on. It was like the heat of the sand just broke through the blanket like a ball of fire. I felt like it was the end of the world, I needed to go into the ocean.

I was riding deep into the ocean, in a raft floating in the ocean. I was all relaxed until this massive wave was coming towards me. I felt fear inside my body. The wave was ginormous compared to me. Then it was about to crash right on top of me. I said in my head, “no turning back now.” I closed my eyes right when the wave was about to crash because I thought it would take me under water. Then when I opened my eyes I wasn’t under water, I was in the air. It felt like I can really fly any time I want! Then that small time I was in the air was just about to end. The bad thing was I was landing straight towards my cousin. After that I crashed into him and we both went straight under water. I was afraid if he was hurt but it turns out my cousin was ok. I couldn’t say he was fine because he gets scared when he goes under water. I got cold so I got out of the water.  That small moment of time could just be my best time in the ocean for all these 10 years!

 I was walking to my cottage with my family just thinking of what things hide from tomorrow. You never know.
