=DAY ONE= When I came home from school there was mail on my bed. Probably my mom had thrown it there before she went to go pick up my brother. I looked through the five college letters I got before I saw one from an address I didn't know. I opened that envelope and there was an invitation to an amusement park. I decided I was going to go but I wasn't going to ask my mom. I couldn't risk her saying no or worse, her coming along. I told my mom I was going to Tommy's house for the night and drove out to Ohio. When I got there it seemed kinda empty so I waited around in the parking lot until I saw more people starting to arrive. It dawned on me that probably not many people would respond to an anonymous invitation to a new amusement park in the middle of Ohio but maybe the people that would would have a lot of character. Or maybe they were all just bored and lonely.

=**DAY TWO**= Around noon I decided to go into the park. As I was walking toward the entrance I started to get a little nervous. I don't know why I started feeling this way now and not the 750 mile drive to get here. I decided to ignore my apprehension and just go for it because what's the worst that could happen? The rides might be weak? So I walked in but there was almost no one in there (I don't know why I expected anyone considering the empty parking lot).

I figured I should try to make some friends for the day but I didn't see anyone that looked like they would be compatible with me. Oh well roller coasters and cotton candy can be just as good alone. I tried to text Tommy and Kelly but I had no service. Whatever they probably weren't doing anything interesting.

=DAY THREE= I kept walking and I saw some people talking together. I overheard a middle aged man talking about a murderer or something. Usually I would brush him off as paranoid or crazy but there was definitely something weird about this place. Whatever even if there is something going on it's not like I could do anything about it. I might as well enjoy this place.

I decided to go on the log flume that I'd always loved as a kid. There was no one working it but it was on an automatic loop so I just hopped on a boat as it floated by. There was no one else on the ride so I figured I'd be able to ride it continuously. As the flume was climbing the hill I realized it was one of the tallest I'd ever seen. I started to get nervous like I was a little kid and gripped the inside bars tightly. The flume went so fast and lifted out of the water some. It was great! I stayed on the ride to do it again. This time the high peak worried me less and I guess I didn't hold onto the bar as tightly. When the boat came out of the water I flew out and landed in the pool of water. I didn't know how to swim. I drowned.

=DAY FOUR= I got out of the water and started coughing up the water violently. I'd never felt so dead in my life. I laid on the deck by the flume to catch my breath and recover but I ended up falling asleep there. When I woke up it was still difficult for me to breathe but I felt much better. It was dark by that time and I was a little weary of the other rides considering my experience so I decided not to try to do anything else for the day. I was tired even after my nap so I figured I would just try to find a place to sleep.

"Did that invitation say there was a hotel here?" I thought to myself.

I checked my pocket for the paper but it wasn't there.

=DAY FIVE= I ended up spending the night sleeping in a roller coaster cart. I figured I must've been out a while because it was already pretty hot when I woke up. I saw some people around which was comforting but I didn't know any of them and I missed my friends. I know I couldn't leave but I hoped that maybe they could come here and hang out. Wait, no that's awful. I don't want them to die here too.
