Abseiling

By Aidan       

I take a deep breath and begin my ascent ,I can hear encouraging remarks from below. I act confident but

the worms in my stomach squirm like

never  before.I breath deeply but the abhorrent feeling

settles over me.

My heart pounds it’s prisons walls.

How did I get myself into this mess? I was at the top.

my lungs splutter to a stop, my brain reminds me of all

that could go wrong.

I climbed down like an inexperienced Dog- which is to say  badly.  As soon as my  feet touch the ground my mind functions properly. Phew!
