Personal Narrative: Dodge Balls

Improved Essays
I dashed off. Running as fast as I could. With my legs pumping I turned the corner. THUMP! “Ouch!” I explained, And tried to get back up until I looked down…”MOM!!” It was a night I will never forget. It was a nice breezy afternoon, and I was having the time of my life with my friend’s at Jump City. We jumped into the foam pit, went down the slides, and played trampoline dodge ball. But what I didn't know, was that it would all turn into a nightmare. Me and my brother were so excited to go to Jump City. It has been our favorite place ever since it opened and we still love it, but the best part was playing there with our friends.

The dodge ball arena is open!” The dodge ball arena is usually full of kids playing, but I was excited cause I loved playing in there. We all came running into the dodge ball arena and picked teams. “3..2..1…GO!” dodge balls were already flying through the air like bullets as I bounced from trampoline to trampoline throwing dodge balls as I went. Once we had enough of playing dodge ball we decided to play tag. Once we decided who was going to be “it” he started to count. “1...2...3” We all ran off. As I was running I turned the a corner to get back into the trampoline area. THUMP! Traumatized, I looked down only to see my knee jammed underneath the glass railing. Thinking nothing about it I tried to get my knee out, but once I tried it seemed stuck, and a spark of pain ran through my leg. “MOM!” I called out in pain. She and her friends ran over as fast as they could, once they got over and saw what happened one of my friends moms tried to get help, while my mom tried getting my knee out of the railing. After about 5 minutes of pain, 2 people in blue outfits who were the staff came over from the other side of the railing and tried to get my knee out, when that failed they tried to lift the railing to get my knee loose. My knee finally popped out, I collapsed, saying “My bones!” and my mom was wondering if she should take me to the ER (Emergency Room) but once I looked at my knee and all I see is a big purple lump. I couldn’t really walk on it, nor move it, but my mom was able to get me to the car where we all drove

Trying not to slam my knees too hard into the ground, I then get the ball just before it hits the ground. Now I finally hit the floor, and slam my side into the ground.…
