The Lucky Escape - By Madison

The Lucky Escape

I grabbed the ladder as fast as I could. I quickly climbed up a couple of steps because there was no more room in the helicopter. I gripped the ladder hoping I wouldn’t fall off. When suddenly a huge shark emerged out of the water I was only four steps up the ladder and there were still another six steps to climb. It was a catastrophe. There was no way I would be able to get up there in time. The shark got closer and closer to me.

I started trying to make a signal to the helicopter pilot hoping that he would see that there was a ginormous shark beneath me. No luck. The wind that the helicopter was making was too loud and too strong for them to see me or hear me. I was starting to lose hope. I looked down at the shark he was starting to get closer. His razor-sharp teeth were starting to make me feel terrified. Then suddenly the helicopter moved up away from the shark. All the shark ended up getting for lunch was a seagull that was sadly flying past at the wrong time. That was a lucky escape.
