this story was haunting me...

ever have a feeling that your on a ride with a million other people? maybe said ride is a rollercoaster .now said coaster is climbing the first hill everyones excited faint whispers are crowded out by the cheering of those that think all will be fine. theres a few people on this ride though are white knuckled and looking back at their lives because they just know that they will die before the ride is over. slowly you creap up metal clinking as the emergency brakes are doing there job making sure with each clink of the ratchet you are stuck that much further up the hill. the few white knuckled doom sayers are sitting there with their heartbeats singing like a metal drummer on meth. to them the only thing they hear is their heart. there is no screams of the people up front enjoying the ride, no screams of the kids scared because of the height. no there is there just the beat of hearts coming from those with enough common sense to realize somethings not right.Maybe the lack of birds in the sky tipped them off. It could of been a random hair up there ass when they woke up. you know one of those "hey im going to die today" thoughts. Maybe they didnt realize it till the lapbar clicked into place. But they know its over. funny that they went to this park and rode this ride to get away from it all. they got away from the shit economy, away from the shit job and uncaring significant other. here they sit along with everyone else on the broad spectrum of life. there sits a jock probally the son of a jock and said jocks trophy wife. over there sits the token teenager. hey in seat 5 sits the model right behind her is the guy who thought he could cure cancer if only he could get a job. 5 more clinks till they hit the top. our anti hero and nobody are counting there last thoughts. 4 clinks. pupils dilate as there life is almost over. soon they will no longer exist.simple as that. 3 clinks the jocks knuckles get white for the first time as he realizes himself something is different this time.2 clinks the model is screaming now. 1 clink and the operator is nonchalant checking out the trio of college girls. as you see everything at once in one second you realize you are accepting everything but not happy with your choice. The first car slides over the hill and you realize its all over.
