What caught and kept my attention were the rides that seemed to torture their occupants. It still amazes me that average‚ ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity and security of

The burnt scent of roasted coffee tickled the tip of my nose just seconds before a noise so loud roared in my ear like a fire engine screaming through my bedroom. As I wiped the grit from last night’s sleep from the corners of my eyes‚ the bright light hit them. I slung my arm like an elephant trunk on top of the alarm to find the snooze button.
