The sky was pitch black, the sonic sound of the wind echoed. I was left in the bush all alone. The trees were swinging side to side while I was sitting on a smooth rock looking at the tall narrow trees getting blown by the energetic wind. All I remembered was going to bed at home. But here I was in the middle of the forest all cold and scared.

A couple of minutes later I managed to work my way to sleep. Then a loud noise erupted and I woke up. I was at a humongous THEME PARK I was shocked. I had no idea what was gonna happen it felt like this experience wasn't even real. I needed to have fun. So then I finally found a ride to go on and it sure did look fun it was the size of the empire state building it was tall and looming over me. So I hopped on the ride and it started moving ?. So far so good and finally the big drop was coming up I was slowly ascending then finally I reached the top and then I realised there was no more to go up. It stopped. My heart was pounding so loudly I looked up and I couldn't even see the face of the earth. Before I knew It I was surrounded by grey fog. All I could do now was jump I took of the belt off and “ahhhhhh” I felt my eyes getting blurry I heard a loud ringing sound and I blacked out.

Boom I woke up and before I could say one more thing I was in the cinema. I had bulging bruises sticking out of my skin. This was a never-ending thing .no one was around me I didn't know what to do I dashed straight out of the cinema door I was in the middle of the jungle. There was a sign on one of the trees I was absolutely shocked. My home was in Sydney and now I am in a jungle 10 hours away called Yass. I was definitely not safe how was I am going to get home.

But that's when I saw the gold to my mission a telephone. So I picked up the phone that was in my pocket. It was never there before. I picked up the phone and typed my mum's number in. And she answered I said mum “can you please pick me up” and mum said “where are you and why are you even awake” “ I thought you were in bed this whole time,” “Anyways mum said” “where are you”. “ you won't like it I am in Yass” she mumbled . My mum absolutely freaked she said how did you end up there I said it’s a long story “are you going to pick me up or what” and her response was simply “ you better thank me” and she put down the phone and I danced and was having the best time.
