You know how sometimes life gives you these perfect days, sunblazing, no school,

the kind of weather that makes you feel like the whole world is on your side. Yeah, that was the day Alex and I went to Aquablast, the brand new water park that had opened in our little town. For weeks, people couldn't stop talking about it. Flyers were plastered all over town, showing pictures of twisting slides that looked like snakes coiling down from the sky. Giant wave pool. with kids flying through the air, and a lazy river so long it practically promised you enlightenment by the time you floated out. For a small town like ours, Aquablast was basically the eighth wonder of the world. The morning of our trip, I woke up before the alarm, heart hammering like it was Christmas.

I couldn't eat breakfast, my stomach was too full of butterflies. I tossed my towel, sunscreen, and swimsuit into a bag like I was gearing up for war, and and then basically sprinted out the door to meet Alex at the entrance. He was already there, bouncing on the balls of his feet like he downed three energy drinks. His grins stretched ear to ear, and before we even stepped inside, he said, This is going to be the best day of our lives. I wanted to believe him. First impressions.

The gates opened and the place hit us like a sensory explosion. Noise everywhere, kids screaming, lifeguards whistling, splashes so loud they sounded like thunderclaps. The smell of chlorine mixed with sunscreen and fried food from the concession stands. The ground was hot enough to sting our bare feet, and the air practically vibrated with excitement. It was bigger than I'd imagined, way bigger. Slides loomed above us like colorful monsters, twisting and spiraling toward the pools below. Crowds surged around us, families with coolers, teenagers daring each other,

little kids dragging floaties twice their size. It was chaos in the best way. Naturally, Alex pointed to the biggest, scariest thing in sight. The mega plunge, he said, his eyes sparkling like he'd found buried treasure. I looked up, my stomach dropped. It was massive, practically a straight vertical line from the clouds to the ground, the kind of slide that makes you question your survival instincts. But of course, Alex didn't hesitate. We got in line. The mega plunge. The line took forever. The sun beat down, sweat dripped down my back, and kids in front of us chattered nonstop about how totally epic this was going to be. Every few minutes, we'd hear a distant scream echo from the top, then watches some tiny figure shot down like a rocket before crashing into the pool below.

Each scream made my nerves worse, but Alex just laughed harder. Finally, after what felt like ours, we reached the top. The park worker, a teenager who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else, gestured toward the inflatable raft. My heart pounded so hard I swore everyone could hear it. Alex, on the other hand, climbed in like he was stepping into a taxi. Ready? The worker asked. Send it, Alex shouted.

Before I could change my mind, we'd. were shoved off. For a few terrifying seconds, there was no ground beneath us, just sky, water spray, and my stomach somewhere above my head. The drop yanked the air out of my lungs, and I screamed so loud my throat hurt. Wind whipped my face, water slapped against my skin, and everything blurred into a chaotic mix of terror and thrill. Then, splash. A tidal wave smacked us as we hit the bottom, and for a moment I couldn't see, couldn't breathe, couldn't think. Then I realized I was still alive. Alex popped up next to me, laughing like a maniac.

That was insane. I couldn't argue. It was terrifying, but also incredible. Exploring the park. The rest of the day was a blur of water and adrenaline. We took on the wave pool, which tossed us around like ragdolls. I swear I swallowed half a gallon of chlorine. The lazy river was a blessing after that, just drifting under the sun, letting the current do all the work.

We floated past families laughing, couples holding hands, kids splashing each other. For a while, it was perfect. But, of course, Alex wasn't about to let us end on something relaxing. We have to try the aqua-twister, he said, as the sun dipped lower in the sky. The aqua-twister. Unlike the mega plunge, this slide wasn't about sheer terror. It was about confusion. A twisting, turning tunnel in complete darkness.

No way to see what was coming next. I stared at the entrance. It looked like the mouth of some monster waiting to swallow us whole. I don't know, I muttered. Alex smirked, don't be a chicken. There's so much rugby on sports extra from Sky. They've asked me to read the whole lad at the same speed I usually use for the legal bit at the end. Here goes.

And of course, he was right about one thing. If I backed out, I'd never hear the end of it. So, I followed. The line was short, which only made things worse. Before I knew it, we were standing at the mouth of the tunnel. The attendant, another teenager who looked like she'd clocked out mentally hours ago, rattled off the rules. Don't stand up, don't stop moving, don't panic.

Easier said than done. We stepped inside. Darkness swallowed us instantly. The air was damp and cold, smelling faintly of mildew. My skin prickled, a shiver crawled down my stomach. spine. You ready? Alex's voice echoed. As ready as I'll ever be, I muttered, forcing bravery I didn't feel. And then the ground dropped out from under us. Chaos in the dark. We hurtled forward, twisting, spinning, flipping. I couldn't tell which way was up or down. My body slammed against the

slick walls of the tunnel. Cold water splashed my face, making it impossible to keep my eyes open. I screamed, but the sound was swallowed by the roaring echo. I heard Alex, too. His voice warped and distant. For all I knew, he was miles away. The spinning made me dizzy, nausea bubbling up. My stomach twisted. Time felt strange, like we'd been trapped in that tunnel forever. And then, light.

A blinding flash as we shot out into the pool, hitting the water hard. I gasped, choking, trying to find the surface. Alex surfaced next to me, coughing and sputtering. His wide eyes told me he was as shaken as I was. Dude, he panted, that was intense. Intense is an understatement, I weased. I think I'm going to puke. We dragged ourselves out of the pool, collapsing on a nearby bench. My whole body shook. The sun was setting now, casting long shadows across the park. I was done, absolutely done. But Alex convinced me we could always come back tomorrow. If only that had been the end.

The panic. We were heading toward the exit, passing the Aqua Twisters looming tunnel one last time when it happened. Screams erupted from the pool area. Not the fun, playful screams we'd been hearing all day. Real screams. Desperate, terrified. We spun around.

A crowd was gathering at the edge of the main pool. People were shouting, pointing, panic rippled through the air. We ran. When we got there, chaos was unfolding. Dozens of swimmers thrashed in the water, their faces twisted in fear. People were shouting, pointing, some scrambling out of the pool, others trying to pull friends to safety. What's happening? I stammered to a woman near me. I don't know, she cried. Something's dragging people under. Alex and I froze. That couldn't be real, right? But then I felt it, dragged under.

We waded closer, hearts hammering. The water swirled strangely around my legs, tugging at me. At first, I thought it was just panic in the pool, but then something hot and constricting wrapped around my ankle. Before I could react, I was yanked down. I gasped, swallowing water, cold flooded my lungs. The world turned into bubbles and muffled chaos. Whatever had me was strong, inhumanly strong. I kicked, clawed, thrashed, but it pulled me deeper,

dragging me into darkness. My chest burned, panic consumed me. I couldn't breathe. I was losing. Then, suddenly, it let go. I shot upward, breaking the surface, gasping, choking. Alex was there, grabbing my arm, pulling me toward the edge. We collapsed, coughing, shaking. What the hell was that, he demanded, eyes wide with terror. Something dragged me under, I rasped. It was real. It was strong. We looked back.

The pool was eerily calm now. The thrashing swimmers had escaped. Lifeguards were clearing the area, shouting for everyone to leave. The park was shutting down early. Aftermath. We blended into the crowd, trembling, silent. It wasn't until we reached the parking lot that Alex finally. spoke. Dude, what the hell was that? I shook my head. I don't know, but I never want to find out again.

We walked home in silence. I showered for what felt like hours trying to scrub the memory off my skin. But that night, sleep didn't come easy. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again, the swirling water, the crushing grip on my ankle, the shadow beneath the water.

Burlpool, something pulling swimmers under. The park dismissed it, said it was overcrowding and panic. But Alex and I knew the truth. The end of Aquablast. A few weeks later, Aquablast shut down indefinitely. Officially, no one ever gave a straight answer. But I knew. And to this day, whenever I think about it, chills run down my spine.
