A Close Call

As I put my first foot on the cruise, I could feel something strange was coming. The second we hit open waters, the intensity of the strange aura increased to an extreme amount. Something was about to happen, but I just didn’t know what. Suddenly, I saw something dark in the water. It was attracted to the cruise like a magnet. I didn’t think it was going to hit the cruise, but as it came closer and closer, my mindset changed. That dark thing lurking in the water was humongous. If it hit us, then we would definitely tip over. I felt an astounding amount of fear take over my body. As it was about to hit, I closed my eyes and braced for the impact. I could feel every bead of sweat rolling down my forehead. Holding on, I clenched my teeth as hard as I could. But, nothing happened. I waited and waited. I looked over the railings. Suddenly, a whale burst out of the water. It nearly took my head off. I could have been eaten by a whale. Terrified, I ran back to my room and stayed there for the rest of the week long cruise.
