just before the drop
You know how you stand and stand and stand in line for the most gigantic, incredible roller coaster you’ve ever dared attempt?
Anticipation swelling, minute by minute by minute, you choose to wait even longer, to ride in the front car and finally it’s your turn. They buckle you in, lock the safety bar with a jolting clunk!
Hook engaged, the chain jerks you forward. You start to climb Crank-crank-crank. Cresting the top, time moves into overtime as you wait for that scant hesitation, just before you drop. You know how you feel at that instant?
Well, that’s exactly how it feels when you shake hands with the monster.
