Caicos Fishing Cycle

I had lacrosse practice on the hottest day of summer. The best day was going to jump off a cliff and die. Practice was done and I was hungry for food. I got in my mom’s car and asked my mom to go somewhere and get some food. We went to Taco Bell. I finished and was ready to go home and get a shower. We were going down the road and suddenly my mom got a phone call from my aunt. As soon as my mom started to talk to my aunt she started to cry and break down. She

I whispered to my little brother "do you know what is going on" he whispered "No". We walked to get water. I was surprised at how calm my dad was. He said there was a cure. It was in his office on the other side of town that he could go get it. I demanded that "we need him". I will get it. He gave me a skateboard helmet and the dog leash. I grab our dog and started to get ready to leave i wanted to see where the zombies were and to do a test run of the skateboard. I grabbed my helmet and took off out the front

We told Riley’s dad to go hard on us, so he did. He went in huge circles and hit his own wake. The first time we were fine, but the second time not so fine. He went in a circle the turned the other way and jerked us outside of the wake. Of course we were outside of the wake on the side I was on. Then these colossal wakes came in from a tiny speed boat that had passed a few seconds ago. We went flying. We were a good 4-5 feet in the air. We landed really hard and went right back up again. This time the tube flipped and we both fell off into the warm water. We had the taste of fishy water in our mouths. At the time it wasn’t so funny but looking back on it I think it was hilarious. It was rough but we asked for it! When I told my parents this they thought it was really funny, but they also wanted to make sure I was

I was going swimming with my family at the water park. I didn’t know how to swim at all but I was filled with excitement when we got there. There was this big swirly slide that just looked so fun, so I went up the stairs and lined up. I remember the lifeguard asking me “you can swim right” and me nodding “yes”. It was my time to go and I was hesitating to go, holding up the line. This red head behind suddenly pushed me and I was on my way down to the deep end. By the time I’ve made up my mind, it was too late. I was in the deep end. I panicked, which made me sink more and I was out of breath. I was about to pass out when lifeguard grabbed me and pulled me out of the water. That was how I experienced one of the scariest moments in my

After going on a little longer we went to a river that was between two waterfalls. The water was so clear that you could see every pebble at the bottom. My dad didn’t want to swim, so he stayed on land and watched us have fun. There were some kids down the river that were trying to swim up the updraft. My mom said they were being stupid because they might be pushed down the river

As we were coming down the long pier, Dad and I were completely loaded down with fishing gear and a bucket full of fish, I thought to myself,”What is Mom gonna say?” When we got to the parking lot for the car, the car was locked and my mother was gone. Then Dad went into panic mode, started to really go off the deep end thinking what might have happened to her, he checked everywhere and we thought he was going to

One day my mom had a innocent idea that turned into one of the most traumatizing experience of my life. She decided to take us to the mall but, little did I know that I would get lost. It began as we walked around, I noticed a new toy at the toy store. I went over to look at it, I picked up the toy and said “look mom it talks”, but to my surprise she was gone and nowhere to be found. My four year old mind went into panic mode, as if it was running around in circles. A few moments later a kind lady comes up to me and ask if I was lost. I answered yes and she took my hand to look for my mom. It was soon after that I found her, I quickly ran to her and gave her a big hug. As I began to tell her how scared I was, I had tears rolling down my face.

With her were a few lifeguards waiting for when we came in. We knew we were in trouble, but we didn't care. We just cared about having fun. Suddenly, I heard my sister screaming for me to stop swimming so fast and to wait up for her. I didn't wait for her but, I slowed down. When I looked back, I saw my twin fighting against the water and splashing it as she looked like she was struggling frantically to get away from something. I started to swim towards her but, when I started seeing the water turn red like blood I stuttered. I looked back up to see a great big shark that was blue with a black tip on its nose jump out of the water and impale my sister with large white sharp fangs, dragging her down to her watery death. The last memory I have of my sister is the look of absolute terror on her pale face as she got dragged down into the depths of the ocean. I started swimming as fast as i could to shore when i felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looked down and saw that there were a few sharks swimming in a circle below me and that i cut my leg on one of their fins. I cried as silently as i could and swam as fast as i was able to back to shore. When I finally got back to shore, I saw my mother’s face turn as white as a ghost with tears running down her cheeks. The female life guard rushed into the water and got me out, wrapping me

One night My mom, her friend Jared, and I were driving up a mountain to go camping and at like 1:30 in the morning and I was halfway asleep in the backseat squished and then are car just starts rolling backwards and I jumped up and asked “ Why are we rolling backwards?” then all of of us started screaming “AHHHHHHHHHH!!” we were going really fast and all of the coolers and a portable grill landed on my head and it was terrifying. Befor I knew it the car was completely on its side in a ditch and we could barely open the door because of gravity and I had to climb out the window. On the way down we took out at least 3 trash cans and like four mailboxes. It took at least four hours for the tow truck to come and in those four hours liken three

Once I was working at the Grand Canyon National Park and I was tending the lookout. The lookout was an enormous rock looking out over a river. One day the rock gave out and 22 plus myself plummeted down into the river, I was the only survivor. The river was impossible to get out of because the waters were moving to fast and the bank was a straight up rock clift. My leg was broken and it was very hard to stay afloat. my phone would not work were it had gotten wet and there was no establishment for miles. I decided to just try and stay afloat for as long as I could until the river reached somewhere. Finally the river run under another lookout and my friend Jerry saw me and sent for

t was a sunday afternoon after i had gone jet skiing with my friend. It had started raining so we thought we would go eat subway then maybe come back. We had the two jet skis attached to the trailer behind our old, rusty red, rickety car. We also had a water tube attached to the trailer. Which probably wasn’t a good idea. So we were on our way back from the lake, going to subway to get a sandwich. Then the rain just starts raining like the whole ocean is coming out of the sky. It was crazy. Then we looked back to check on the tube and the jet skis. Yeah this is the uh-oh part. We looked back at them and we had the jet skis check, but the tube was gone. Uh-oh. We turned the car around to try and retrace our steps but who knows it could have

My uncle and I went on the Sting Ray which is like a huge u that goes up high in the sky. While we were going down I had to be going down backwards it was scary because it felt like I was fall backwards. Then we had to head back to our hotel. Once everyone was ready we went to Denny’s to eat supper. When we were in there it was cold because I didn’t change because I was going to go to the indoor pool. While we were eating my mom secretly got us sundaes so we were so happy. We left Denny’s when we were done eating we went back to the hotel. My sister said ‘let’s go to the indoor pool. While we were in there this old man came in and starred at us so we got out and left the indoor pool and the man followed us out and so we ran to the hotel it wasn’t that far away so we were okay. The next morning, we got up and my mom tells me I tried to crawl in bed with my older sister and my younger brother. Then at like 10 in the morning we got ready and me and Louie went to the indoor pool. After a few hours we went back to the hotel and every one was ready so we went back to Noah’s

My mother then picked me up and set me down in the car. Water was already pooling around her ankles. She ran back into the house and grabbed what seemed to be most of our belongings and when she came back, she started the car and took off. She told me we were heading to a safe place. I remember questioning why our home wasn't safe anymore. Once we got to my mom’s so called “safe place,” I noticed that we weren't the only family with what seemed to be our whole homes in our arms. I even noticed some children from my school.

It was a nice sunny day in the Ocotillo wells desert. There were six families camping with us in six different Rvs. All of us little kids were playing around were playing around in the sand. Some of the parents wanted to go for a ride on there quads while the other half of the parents stayed and watch us. So my parents and the other adults left while we stayed at the camp site. Time passed and our parents are still gone, about an hour later we see my dad alone riding his quad fast toward us. He stopped and sprang off his quad and rushed in the trailer. "Wheres mom, and everyone else"? I said. Mom drove off a cliff and crashed. My mom was rushed to the hospital and was taken by a helicopter.

There was a slight breeze rocking the boat as my family and I stepped onto the boat. My family had a great love for fishing. we had decided to take the whole family to South Padre. I was enjoying the view of the calm waters. My cousin and I had our feet up, sitting back, and our fishing poles ready I swung my fishing pole back and casted it out straight up in the sky, it looked strange seing fish bait fly like that into the water. I started to reel it back in and i felt the little vibrations of fish biting and I jerked amd sure enough i hooked a nice looking skip jack, and when I reeled it up from the depths it just jumped right in the boat. Afterward my dad said they stopped biting so we moved on to another spot in hopes of better luck but
