Disney Land
I couldn't wait for my family and I to take our annual vacation. It was during those times that I enjoyed myself most. I had anticipated this vacation to be the best. After all, I was going to Disney World, the greatest place in the world. Little did I know I was about to embark on a journey that would leave a scare in my memory, permanently. The incident took place more than twelve years ago, yet I can recall the date and time as if it were yesterday. The date, Saturday, June 13, 1987; the time, 2:00 in the afternoon. The sun was at its peak and it felt as if it was hot enough to fry an egg in the middle of the street. As the large doughy hand reached down to grab mine, I began to panic. My palms began to sweat and I could feel my heart pumping wildly. This giant monstrosity before me was huge. His hand drawing closer to mine, my heartbeat grew with intensity. I'd never been so frightened. I could hear my mother's sweet, faint voice from beside me saying, "Go ahead, honey, shake his hand." I remember looking at her and looking at the hand getting closer to me, I immediately took off. I wasn't running to escape fear. I felt as if I was running to save my life. I ran throu
gh hordes of people. People who were talking so loudly I couldn't hear myself think. I had no idea where I was going. The sweet smell of cotton candy was in the air. I could feel gum underneath my shoes and I could see traces of peanuts on the ground. As sweat was starting to trickle down my face, I continued to run faster and faster. As I continued to run I could hear a song repeating the same words over and over again. The words were simple yet very agitating. It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all. Those words rang in my mind then and I can still hear them today. When I thought I had lost the giants and that I was safe, something strange happened next. I said to myself in a whisper, "If I can run up the steps to take a look out at what was going on behind me, I would be able to see if the coast was clear." See, I remember the last time I stopped to look around another giant came in my midst. This time I had to be smarter than before. Running sporadically up the steps, I was hardly breathing. After catching two good breaths I turned around only to see the face of my mother who looked as if she could use a glass of water. She had sweat popping out from everywhere. "Why did you run off so far?" My mother asked, as she quickly grabbed me. I tried explaining to her that those giants she wanted me to take pictures with didn't seem friendly to me at all. They had big ears, big noses, and feet bigger than my head. Sh
