Creative Writing: The Trampoline

This story begins about the middle of April. One day after school me and my step brother Jaret, who was 19 at the time, decided that we wanted to learn to do a back flip on the old loud and rusted trampoline that sat in the yard, never used. We both changed clothes into something more comfortable and flexible. We went outside and got on the hot trampoline that had been sitting outside in the sun all day. We did some warm up front flips to get our blood flowing so we could be at the top of our flipping game. We were very scared to try this new trick we even watched YouTube videos on “how to do a back flip on a trampoline”. “Just go for it” Jaret told me as I bounced on the trampoline, trying to gain the courage to attempt this trick. I finally
jumped and looked back as I saw everything behind me while I was upside down. It looked like everything was in slow motion, like a movie. It was so peaceful, until I landed right on my face. I thought I had done it, but I failed, after that I had a red spot on my nose, called “tramp burn”.
