It wasn't the first time


It wasn’t the first time for me. Paralyzing screams filled my ears giving me a sick pleasure. Twenty eight seconds and what seems like a lifetime of fear, terror and excitement. Again I ride the Kingda Ka rollercoaster.

This weekend's Trifecta Challenge is to write a 33 word story starting with the words "It wasn't the first time". Be sure to stop over there and read some amazing entries!

  1. I used to ride roller coasters in my youth, but every ride now terrifies me. Even the ones for toddlers.

  3. Lucy, came back to say I hope you link up with the workshop; very informal and please don't be intimidated. It's a place to experiment with fiction, that's all. I hope to grow the group. That prompt will be up a few more days.

  5. Well done Lucy, riding rollercoasters are indeed so much fun, and that extra bit of paralyzing screaming adding to its charm!

  8. This is so timely for me. I took my 5 year old on his first roller coaster yesterday. I didn't know how *big* of a coaster it was until midway through that first drop. Petrifying. He told me it felt like his stomach was coming out his ear. I think that sounds right. :-) Hope to see you back soon.
