Bungee Jumping Short Story

But just like a popped balloon, all the tension was gone. I reel in the remaining line, waiting for the hook to pop out of the water, but it never does. “God damn thing ate the hook and all” my Dad states, my eyes widen, and I look up at him. “What now?” I ask.

Jack nodded and he went outside straight to the deck of the cruise ship. Ralph went back to his room, his face was in pain from the bunch and slept with the littluns. After about half an hour later, someone rushed into the room like a mad cow and shouted for help.

So Fernanda jumped and “pencil dived” to grab Roene, and it worked! But when Fernanda was grabbing Roene, she dropped the rope and hatchet. When Nathan and I were landing in the water, we had to loosen the chest strap before we landed. Once we landed we had to take it off carefully and let the parachute sink. Roene and Fernanda wanted to save the parachute, for supplies. So before they hit the water, Fernanda dropped Roene into the water, Roene swam away a little. While Fernanda was still in the air she loosened the chest strap and when she landed she took it off. Meanwhile, Roene quickly grabbed the parachute and successfully saved it. We swam towards each other while Nathan inflated the dinghy. We were about a three-minute swim away from each other, but there were some pretty big waves. When we noticed that there were sharks! While the rest of us were panicking, Fernanda discovered that they were whale sharks! She told us that whale sharks don’t eat humans! We were so relieved. While we were paddling to shore, Roene hit Nathan in the head with her oar! Nathan got a concussion, but he was okay since he just lay on the bottom of the dinghy. We were a six-hour paddle

Then they would try to get to their car before the monster breaks out of the net. They started making the net out of strong branches from bamboo or some other strong branch. It started to get dark but they weren’t done with the net and they already heard the monster looking for them far away. They got done with the net and the monster got really close to them and they ran down to river to start the plan.

The men had read a magazine that showed the techniques of making a raincoat raft and a life vest. These rafts would get them across the San Francisco Bay without tiring them out. They knew that they would make great partners considering the fact that they had all broken out of their previous prisons. They made these while they were supposed to be painting the ceiling inside the prison. They were able to persuade the officers into letting them clean and paint. Meanwhile the three men are working on gluing their stolen raincoats into the

At this time in his life, Fish began to run away from the orphanage as well as wetting the bed that he slept in. With bed wetting being normal, no one looked for any signs of him to go

"Lower the mizzenmasts, secure the jibs, let loose the topsail," Susan barked out her command's as she turned her ship. Wondering if anyone was alive on board that small boat. Pondering how anyone could survive in the heat of the summer sun without water to sustain them. "Ready the pole hooks, and the ladder," she bellowed out as the small lifeboat drew near.

I felt the drops begin to fall, and yelled, “Hurry! Help Me get the fly on!” We hoisted on the fly, then realizing the tent was going to blow away, put in some extra stakes. The next morning we woke up, dazed by the nights’ events, but excited and ready for adventure. We began our journey into the Tetons, heading to Jenny Lake, where frigid waters dared us to jump in. We began our journey up the mountain shortly after a quick breakfast, during which a man from the next campsite over gave us some extra pancake mix, which at the moment we had no time to use, and threw in the back of the car. Little did we know the lights in the car had stayed on while we went up the mountain. I headed the trip for a while, then fell to the back, drained by trying to stay in the lead and by lack of oxygen. We had to take breaks every few minutes because of the dispersed and unsatisfying amount of air we were able to breath in. All of the sudden, like flashes of lightning, Kurtis and Allison took the

We slowly drove out to the faster speed limit part of the lake, once there I was given a small briefing about hand signals. Gracye’s Dad told me, “Thumb down means slower, thumb up means faster, and hand horizontal means perfect.” After the briefing we got our life jackets on and literally jumped from the boat to the tubes which were now almost out of reach, quickly trailing behind the boat. The rope attached to the tube was quicklypulled out very far and was tightly being pulled from behind the boat, me on the biggest tube in the middle and Gracye on the smaller one on the right of me. We got to a moderately fast pace for me and it ended up not being as frightening as I thought it would be. Her Dad had started picking up the speed by this time and I was beginning to get scared. I signaled to have him slow down and he ended up slowing down after five minutes, or so I thought, but he was just winding the boat up for a whip which while happening, I was holding on for dear life and I felt my life flash before my

Suddenly an incredible crack resonated throughout the ship, making everyone shudder. This sudden realisation of the imminent sinking sent everyone into panic. Many people made their way to the storage holds, grabbing as much gold as they could possibly carry. Others held their family in a soothing embrace, slowly lowering with the ship. Some jumped overboard, swimming away from the sinking boat, but quickly drowned in the freezing

Unfortunately the storm was getting rougher and night was creeping in. So they tried to sail, but then then mast broke and the sail fell overboard. The men had nothing left

This shows the amount of consideration that the boy puts into the fish. He sees it as more than that of a meal or payment of a debt. He continues to connect

“I’ll get you all home. Soon, you will all have your lives back and you will never have to live another scared day again.” Said Rainsford. Shortly after, they all boarded the ship. As they set sail, the now free prisoners looked back at the island. Remembering all the scared, lonely nights spent in that dark cellar. They were all so thankful to be rescued by the great Captain Rainsford. Soon, they will all go back to the lives they were living, happy and

The men are trapped with very little food and water. By the fourth day, all but three men have left. Steelkilt and the two others plan to storm and take control of the ship, but the plan fails when the two men tie up Steelkilt and bring him to the main deck in hopes that the punishment will be less severe. But they get flogged anyway. Steelkilt avoids a flogging by the captain, but Radney hurts him.
