The car pulls
to a stop and I wake up from the uneasy sleep during the ride to see what’s
waiting for me outside the window. I spot people, people, and people. I open
the car door and step out lightly. I can feel the hot, burning sun on my face.
I walk toward the flamboyant blue castle gate, like I’ve seen in movies. I see lines
of people, crowds of people. Their faces are lit up with expectations and
excitements that wait for them behind that blue gate. I, too, walk toward one
of the small entrances where people are lining up. The lines are so long, I already
am sweating so heavy from the heat around me- the people, the sun, the
anticipation. It’s finally my turn to step into the gate, to see the wonderful
things that’ll be waiting for me right there, for some fun.
Red, yellow, blue colored balloons float
in the air. I see happy couples with their couple t-shirts, kids running around
with pink and white cotton candies. In the air I smell buttered popcorns,
sweetness of cotton candies. All around me I hear strident screams, shouting,
high-pitched shrills from the rides that look so much fun. People line up
orderly and patiently for their rides but they can’t hide the fact that the air
seems to be burning around them. Fanning each other, sipping on drinks, sweat
running down their cheeks. I buy myself a cup of ice-cold coke. It’s there in my hands
and I can feel the coolness it gives to my warm hand. Within seconds my hands
turn cold, I bring up them to my neck and the coolness again spreads to my
body, freeing me from the heat, satiating my dreaded thirst. I walk around a little bit more, until I come
across this ride that catches my attention.
