In the beautiful blue water I grab the rope and swim to the end of it. Then, the boat starts to move so I pull myself up. Now, I was standing on the Wakeboard gliding across the water. Then suddenly there were waves right in front of us, and we were headed straight for them and I said to myself, “ oh crap”. I still was standing when the waves crashed into my board, but the last wave turned my board sideways and my face hit the water very hard and my face felt like it was split apart, and my family said it looked like

The drive seemed like forever , I rolled down the window I felt the crisp air in my face I heard the chickadees chirping , I could finally catch a glimpse of the lake there was a layer of thick fog on the water almost like a blanket.I could see the big sign saying welcome to sunken lake.When we parked I was

It was about three years ago that my family and I had decided to listen to my sister and plan this trip to a lake. We could not resist sitting on our living room sofas and letting the humid air slap us right across the face. So Friday night we went out to the store to buy everything we imaged we would need to make a successful family trip. So Saturday morning comes around six we are close to ready in leaving to the lake. It was a struggle for me to get up in the morning so as soon as we got on the road with the van my eyes fell shut. According to my dad it was a two hour drive before the engine of the car stopped and my eyes were open again. We happen to be in some sort of parking lots. Once we knew we were at the parking lots of the lake we unpacked everything we brought our bags with extra clothes, food, balls, and the canopy’s. We had to walk through a pathway that was surrounded by very giant trees until we arrived to the end of the trees and was this signed that read “WELCOME TO LAKE PERRIS”.

The waves were immense, so we were all told not to go too far out. As my family started to get out of the water, after swimming for awhile. I decided to stay in the water and swim for a little bit longer. I was swimming more remote out to the deep sea. Suddenly I felt my foot start to sink underneath something grainy and soggy. Struggling to pull my foot back my other foot started to go under. I was panicked now, not know what was happening was the most appalling part the whole time. I finally figured out what was happening, I was sinking in some deep sand. As I was yelling for help frantically, I suddenly realized no one could hear me, I was on my own. I pulled and pulled until I felt my foot be released from the sand. I swam as fast as I could, when I finally got back to the shore, I looked at my family and said let's go back

Life jacket all strapped on, getting to the last step and I’m in. I feel the rush of the cold water running all over my body like a pack of fire ants attacking their prey. I let go of the ladder and step on the lake floor, slim, allege, little water bugs everywhere, the smell of fresh lake with a hint of fish comes to me. I walk around on the lake floor going deeper as I go, my life jacket starts to kick in and I’m loosing footing as I continue walking into the unknown. I get to a point where there’s a clear line where there’s a drop off, one side is the lake floor the other is a black hole. Pretty soon it’s me and the lake, and I just lay back and enjoy every bit of it. The blue sky with white streams left behind from the passing jets, making lines that cross each other every which way. The waves coming in from boats way out and beyond, gently hitting me and pushing me just inches closer towards shore. Birds sing their song, pine trees blow in the wind, sun beating down hitting my face, blinding me as it always does. I return to the real world and realize I floated back to where I started out, the lake knew it was time to head in. I step over to the silver ladder who spends its days and nights in this clear, cold lake helping those who dare to step in. I get up to the top of the ladder and step onto the dock, where my towel was waiting, to provide some warmth back to me. I wrap my towel around me and start the walk back to our beach house. I am careful not to slip on the rocks that washed up from the lake, and I make it to grass and flat

The wave swallowed me as if I was not going to live the next day. I was underwater for almost 30 seconds long. My lungs were inflated and I couldn't breath! My mouth was open and I could taste the nasty salty cold water on my tastebuds nothing but nasty salty cold Water. As I came back up I gasped for air trying to catch my breath. As I looked up I saw my boogie board where my dad was holding with his hands getting ready to go get a

My mom call me to the kitchen. I rushed down stairs as if I was a cheetah trying to catch my prey. I kissed my mom on the cheek ten times and said thank you, thank you, thank you. I ran outside. I layed on the grass thinking what would happen the next day, but my thoughts went away

It is a monday morning in Ensenada, México. The sun rising, I can hear the waves crashing, seagulls squawking, and the smell seaweed and salt in the air. The sound of quietness and my uncle telling me to wake up. The smell of pancakes and eggs, my mom and aunt are making breakfast. My uncle is going to his truck when pulled out his white and blue surfboard. I immediately run to get mine. We run out to the ocean, my uncle jumps in before me. He lets out the loudest screech and jumps right out of the water. He says it is as cold as ice. I arrive to my house to get our wetsuits.

I looked out of my hammock and saw the scenic waterfall that we camped by. Everybody else shortly awoke and we packed our things and set off for our first true day of hiking. We hiked for nearly five miles until we finally found a reliable and clean water source. Drenched in sweat, I filled up my water bottle about five or six times, chugging the water quickly each time. After a stomach full of water, we all gathered our things once again, and continued up the trail. It started to get very cold, as the sun began to set and we were all extremely tired from hiking so far, but we had to find a camp site before it got dark and the closest one was the very top of the mountain. We had about five more miles to go, but we were moving like snails, due to exhaustion. Everyone began walking at their own pace and we ended up scattered on the trail, split up. I even put my pack down at one point, laid in the dirt, and closed my eyes and took a short

It felt like drowning, a complete strange world full of extraordinary things, every person in that world were lost, some of the faces looks so familiar, I was worried about what’s going to happen next? Where are we know? I never understand what happened after that but I teleport to another place, It was a cold mountain and I was with my brother. That was a scary place too, but the weirdest part was my brother. He was sitting on a computer chair and rolling all over that time. It was a very cold and weird place and suddenly everything collapse, I fell down and I started to think that finally it’s getting over, this odd, strange and unknown world is dying. I get up from a tiring sleep, like I’ve had a terrible nightmare. All of us for sure had

I was pumped and ready as I started to walk towards the water while looking at the set of waves, to see what wave I was going to catch. As I stepped into the water a great big shiver went through my body telling me that the water was going to be cold. I jumped onto my board and stated to paddle out. When I got out to the bigger waves I sat on my board and looked back at everyone watching me, waiting for me to do something, I then kept paddling a bit to wait for the perfect wave to come up. I was just about to start paddling when I felt something rub up against my leg, I turned around to see what is was and saw a massive great white shark behind me. The shark than got caught in my leg rope and snapped it off, it then threw me into the water

had jumped into the 8ft pool and he did not know how to swim. I looked at him for a second and he came back up and was coughing. I looked around me and saw my mom and kept yelling "Mom, Sam is drowning!" She looked like she couldn't hear me so I knew I had to jump in and try to save him from drowning. As I jumped in I opened my eyes and saw him trying to get up so I went under him and pushed him up. When he got up it was my turn to try to save him from drowning. As I jumped in I opened my eyes and saw him trying to get up so I went under him and pushed him up. When he got up it was my turn to try and save myself. At that momebt I just thought to myself, how was I going to get back up? All i remember after that i closed my eyes and felt someone

Although I was so into leaving the house I did not go too far. No not because I was six, but because where I lived was perfect for me. See I live and a block of about seven houses on each side and we are the second from the street corner and right at the corner I would turn around and go down the other side of the streat. About half way through the neighbor 's street was a sewer creat and I found joy making little and big turns around it, about halfway in my little oval was our driveway. So really I was going about ten yards away from my house. But that was perfect for me, and that day was perfect. It was latter in the evening towards the end of summer so it was nice and warm out but not cold. The sun was just under the hills but not to far. When it is like that it seems to stay like that for a long time but that was great because it gave the sky a peaceful glow that seemed to fulfill the clear blue sky, the sky seemed to feel joyful when it is like this. How the light glowed through the trees it was as if the shadows were dancing with the light. the breeze was soft but nice pushing me and cooling me off. The time, the place, the view everything was perfect then when I was almost to where I would pass the drive way I lost my balance for a moment and fell over. I landed in a weird, trapped position.

My shoes hit the pavement of my porch, and I was over the backyard fence and gone. My mind raced. A million things could go wrong, I thought, my dad could catch me, I could come face to face with a kidnapper, attacked by a dog, arrested, hit by a car, anything could happen. I hugged myself and tried not to

I sat on the bench outside the apartments as I watched the day we had finished practice and all the girls had plans so I sat here and watched the weather. I had been sad all day so I half expected rain and terrible downpour and cloudy and grey just terrible weather but it wasn 't. It was beautiful the sun was shining and it was slightly cloudy so it was perfect 65 degrees out I looked at the sky and just sat my head on my knee I wanted to cry but maybe my eyes had dried out from crying I pulled my knees up and I just sat in silent as the chilled air wrapped around me I just watched the empty space for what felt like ever. I still watched the sky as a car pull up in front of me I heard the door open and close and soon there was a person in
