The Tradition

This Summer I went to Six Flags Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. I went with my brother and his friends. We bought our tickets and entered the park. Since I knew the park so well I led our pack through. Our first ride was sidewinder, the rollercoaster that has loop-da-loop and you go forwards and backwards. After we rode sidewinder we went to shipwreck and rode which was all to exciting. But then when you get off and go over the bridge you have to go to the left and then you get soaked. In fact it hit me so hard my sunglasses were tossed into the water and lost forever. We dried off a little and rode white lightning a couple times. After we were dizzy we went to Twister 2 for the first time of my life. I rode with one of my brothers friends who knew where the camera was so when we got of and saw our pictures my mouth was wide open and he had a full smile across his face. PRICELESS!!! After the thrill of my life we went and spent $5.00 for a single slice of pizza. INCREDIBLE!!! After I ate my friends finally convinced to ride the mind eraser. So we walked over to the line which wasn’t to long and got into the main place. I sat in the back and on the outside because they said it feels like you’re gonna hit the poles. It slowly climbed its way to the top and you see the gum covered roof and then….

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OMYGOSH!!!!!!

That was the best adrenaline rush of my life (next to snowboarding). The craziness of your head bouncing side to side, spinning up and down while your feet and hanging wildly in the air and then its over. Just like that. You wait one hour for a minute-and-a-half. But then again its really worth it.

After we rode the mind eraser another three times we went over to Shake, Rattle, and Roll. That ride is crazy. The harness presses up against your body so hard but in the end I know why. Its so awesome how you go about fifty feet in the air while doing backflips and everything. It is the second sweetest ride in elitches.

If I were to participate in any olympic event I would participate in Snowboard Downhill. I would participate in Snowboard Downhill because the I love the feeling of adrenaline pumping through all of my veins and arteries. The rush is one of the best feelings ever. The feeling of weightlessness overwhelming your body. You’re like in your own world watching the flags and lines and spectators fly by as you’re going 75 mph. And then you hit the finish line and it’s all over in a blink of an eye. The adrenaline rush then spikes when you hear the crowd chanting as you’ve one the gold.

Its a dark, stormy night. You’re working the night shift for your business. You’re business does top secret research for the U.S. Government. You have many rivals wanting to get their hands on your research. You’re jamming out to your AFI DECEMBERUNDERGROUND album playing on iTunes.

Downstairs, 50 stories below your office, a security guard is making his rounds. A visitor has entered the building. He is wearing black clothes with a beanie and sunglasses. The security guard reaches for his radio but then…
The suspicious visitor makes his way up the many flights of stairs, taking out anyone who gets in his way. He gets off the stairs at the 50th floor, the very floor you are working on.

You’re busy reviewing data tables and graphs and reports from other experiments conducted. These experiments can mean life and death for the human race.
The volume is maxed out.

Miss Murder is playing.

The doorknob clicks but you can’t hear it.

The man walks in, unnoticed.

Silenced pistol held in hand.

Finger on the trigger.

You turn around.

Trigger clicks against the trigger gaurd.

Bullet shoots out of the barrel.

Strikes you between the eyes.

Skull cracks on entrance and exit blood trailing along.

Blood and bullet strike the computer.

The computer implodes.

Blood splattered everywhere.

A few days later the U.S. Secret Service investigates you’re death. You were not the only one killed. The man who broke in was a professional no finger prints were found anywhere. Everything is lost.
You’re dead and you’re research is gone.
