Brooke’s Great Fall
based on an interview by Cupipig667
One year a girl named Brooke was skiing at Mad River Glen at the age of eight. She wanted to go on the single chair, so she and her family got in line to get on. A couple minutes later she noticed that you had to be 5 ft or taller to get on the single chair, and she was only 4 ft 9. She still got on but not so easily. When she was getting on, the chair lift guy was pushing and shoving her to get on and yelling at her.
“Little girl you need to get on the CHAIR, NOW!!!!” the guy screamed.
Then the guy who was controlling the chair was off in la la land and wasn’t paying attention and didn’t stop the chair to let her on. She ended up getting on the chair hanging by her hands! Then finally when she was at the highest point of the mountain (which reminded Brooke of a giant wave that was going to collapse on her) the chair lift stopped. The guy who was controlling the chair lift had appeared to be under Brooke shouting up at her like an elephant who was about to run all over her!
“Little girl stay here and hang on as tight as possible, I will be back with a ladder to help you down,” the guy controlling the chair lift said. Then all of a sudden she started slipping! THEN she lost her reach of the chair and fell off! She blacked out and then opened her eyes and noticed she was in a toboggan heading down a trail going to the ambulance.
I don’t think that Brooke enjoyed this horrible experience of falling off a chairlift and then going down in a toboggan twisting and turning down a hill then getting 1 or 2 shots, on a cold freezing day with the wind blowing and the snow falling. She doesn’t remember much of the falling part because she closed her eyes the whole time she was falling then when she opened her eyes back up she was surrounded by people.
When she was in the hospital her mom and sister and father visited her. I asked her what her an her father talked about. Her father said, quote “How are you doing?”
She replied, quote, “I’m fine but in pain.” Luckily she was out of the hospital in at least 2 days, so she could get back to school!

Interesting story, but I'm just wondering...Why did the chairlift stop, and why was the man yelling at 'Brooke'?
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain that this was because she wasn't seated properly (or at all!) but why didn't the chairlift keep going with hopes that she'd make it? If not, then when didn’t they get the man with the ladder under her, and then they'd stop to help her off.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good story, but I think your introductory sentence could be improved to better catch the reader's attention.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? It is lacking in plot, character, and only barely hanging on to setting.
