One slip changes everything

One slip changes everything

By Teigan

I look up to see the clouds are closing in. Time to get home before the rain comes. To slow it pelts down on my face harder and harder with each drop. I find myself at the stream and I have to cross it’s the only way there’s no bridge. But the waters growing, and swelling fast. I lower myself into the water tightly grasping the roots that were slightly ajar from the bank. Walking out as far as I could while still holding on. The currants not to strong slowly I let go edging farther out. Very carefully taking each step.  I reach out a hand and grasped the bank. Slowly pulling my self up when AHHH!!!!!!! The bank gives way and I plummet into the icy water getting swept away. I can’t get my footing something crashes into me and every thing goes black.
