Holiday Moment: Lachlan

The Void

I cast my eyes downwards. “Shishkebab” I mutter to myself.  I feel like I’m on top of Mount Ruapehu.  The crowd shoves me from behind.  I have to choose.  Yellow, black, blue – which one?  Black wins.  Without a second thought I leap headfirst into the void.  I twist, I swirl, I claw madly at the sides. I scream into the darkness “Please, let this end!” I see light, then I’m gasping for breath.  I stumble to my feet wet as a dog’s nose.  I shiver – not with cold but with excitement. That was the most thrilling hydro-slide ride ever!
