The Ride
By Boyd Miles
150 words
How much longer? I can't keep this up
but I have to.
“Try to keep her breathing, they
think they can shut it off safely. Just try to keep going.”
Yeah right, easy for the fireman to
say he is on the ground not swinging back and forth trying to keep
some woman alive. Lucky me to end up in a cart with a woman that was
going to die of fright or something.
It had started off just fine, she was
laughing I was laughing then we saw a gear go rolling across the
pavement. Then the kid operating the ride ran off and alarm bells
began to ring. She quit breathing and I had to be the hero.
“We are going to start slowing the
ride, just hold on.”
The cart stopped and the firemen
rushed on. I walked away. Should have gotten her number before the
ride.
