Ahhh! The Roller Coaster is on fire. I can smell the smoke and I can see fire. I can taste my sweat from the smoke and I can touch the burning flames. I can hear everybody screaming.
“Mum where are you?
“Dad have you seen Mum?”
“No!”
“Sister have you seen Mum?”
“Yes.”
“Where?”
“I think she went on the burning Roller Coaster.”
“Oh no!!! Mum are you in there?”
“Yes, Sammy.”
“Seriously Mum why are you on the Merry go round?”
