I was at the playground and the fun and fear awaited me. I wondered what I would do.  I thought, Phew, my mom finally said yes. It felt as if I had been begging her for hours!

But it all started one regular old day. I thought nothing exciting was going to happen until I stepped foot on the playground. I looked to do some climbing. I had a limited amount of time, only 5 minutes!I wanted to do the climbing swing but someone was on it! So I looked and looked and finally l spotted the spiderweb!

I sprinted to it and I climbed foot by foot hand by hand and finally I got up! I jumped back down. For a second, just for a second,I felt like I was soaring in outer space. I wondered, how would I get back on land? I was scared and calm.

“Boom!

I was on the ground again. I looked down at the wood chips and my feet. I was on the ground and then boom, it got me.  I was going to climb the border of the spider web! I tried.I was eager to do it and I tried again and I finally got up. 

“Mommy! Mommy!” I yelled. “Take a picture!” 

Snap.

“Okay I’m going to get down now,” as I said that I saw my brother’s feet. He got up too! Double trouble I have to admit I couldn’t get down!

“Lets jump!” my brother exclaimed. 

“No!” my mom said. 

“Wha wha wha what should I do?” I cried to myself.

I was about to cry, but I tried to hold it in. My hands were shaking, my heart was racing and it felt like I had ants in my pants. I wonder if I would spend the rest of my life there. Tears by tears ran down my cheek. I was drowning in my tears. Thoughts were racing in my mind. I was miserable. I can see by the look on my mom’s face that she was stressed. It looked like was I 100 feet up!

“Mo mo mommy what should I do?” I said. 

“Try to inch your way down,” my mom said. 

I tried to inch my way down and I said to myself, I can’t do it.  I got back up and I could see my mom was madder than ever. Stress started to bubble up in my body. I tried the hardest I could to face my fear and finally…“I did it! Yeah!” I screamed.

Now my mom’s stress has faded so my stress has faded. “Phew,” I said, relieved.

My legs pushed me out of the playground. Finally the tragic time was over.
