My Imagination

I was drifting down the alleyway towards home when I stopped and saw an amazing poster just sitting there all by itself. There sitting right in the middle was...

Suddenly I was shaking with excitement, getting ready to dive down into the sparkling water below. My feet were all bouncy and my legs felt like jelly. I got my hands ready to dig my way down to the bottom of the pool when...

“On your marks get set go” I sprang up into the air and let my feet free from the ground for those few seconds I felt like I was flying. Until “splash” I hit the the water, it felt like concrete.

I flicked my legs back and forth, I was under the water for along time but then I popped out from under the surface. My arms pounded the water with strong waves, they felt like rubber just ripping through bricks. Heart racing, legs stiff, what could be better?

I hit the wall with a thud and bounded back off, I looked up ahead to see I was coming second. Faster and faster, I built up speed my arms almost fell off. My heart started to thud, I could almost touch the person in front, heading for the lead I smiled back at him. I was going to collapse only a few seconds...  

The wall was right up head 3, 2, 1,  bang! My arm crumpled against the wall. I lifted up my head from the water to find myself staring at the poster with the swimming champ diving on a 3 metre board in the alleyway.
