Roller Coaster

The Roller Coaster I have always been captivated by roller coasters. It surprises me that ordinary and average people eagerly trade in the stillness of the ground for a chance to be tossed around in the air like water coming out of a sprinkler. It amazes me that in some point in time, someone thought that people would enjoy this. The force of twisting tracks, loops and turns send chills through my body. It is …

…hills and the descending plunge toward the ground, only to take the rider back up, and go through it all again, leaving them physically and emotionally drained. After a while, passengers return for more, wanting to experience the thrill of the roller coaster once more. Although I am becoming older and have less time, or less inclination, to play, the child like thrill I have on a roller coaster continues with each and every ride.
