The Dragon


"Oh, I can't wait to go to Lake Shore Park today", said Josh. Josh's friend, Tim, was bringing him to an amusement park called Lake Shore Park. Josh and Tim packed up and hopped into the car waiting for Tim's thirty-five year old brother named Bill. Bill got in the car and they were ready to go. Bang! Thunder just roared in the sky. Flash! Lightning flashed in the sky. "Man, we're only five minutes away and it starts to storm," Josh exclaimed. They were close enough to hear people screaming. "It's just a storm people," Tim said in the car. Josh and Bill started laughing. Soon, they figured out why people were screaming. A big explosion of fire went off. "That's not lightning," Bill said. Right after he said that, they saw what was causing the fire. A roller coaster named, The Dragon, came to life shooting fire all over the place. "This must be a dream," Tim said. "It isn't," Josh said back. Next thing you know the car was on fire. "Jump out!" Bill screamed. Too late... BOOM! The car exploded. Bill and Tim flew out and landed next to each other, but Josh flew right on the dragon. The dragon was flying way too high for Josh to jump off; he had to hold on tight. Little shocks were coming out of the dragon. "The lightning hit the dragon, that's what caused it to come to life," Josh thought to himself. Josh led the dragon to a giant barrel of water that always dumped on people who would go under it. When the bell rang, it was time to dump. The bell was still ringing when Josh flew under it. He turned the dragon around and flew under it again. This time the dragon got soaked and started to fall. Josh was holding on tight for his life. Bang! The dragon smacked the ground and Josh went flying in the air and splashed into the wave pool. "Hooray for the boy!" everyone shouted. Josh went home and found his picture in the newspaper that said, "Josh Stevens: Hero of Lake Shore Park"
