En skræmmende ferieoplevelse i Melbourne

I will write about my experience that I had last summer in Melbourne, which started out being a great and sunny vacation in the heat of Australia. Me and my family have been looking forward to this vacation for months, but what I didn't know was, that the end of the holidays turned into something very dangerous.

It was the second last day of our holidays, and everything had definitely lived up to my expectations. Like I did many times, I went to the beautyfull beach with my sister. The transparent blue water went in with the heaven, and the sound of all the people and the playing kids made me happy, but also sad about leaving the place soon. My sister and I took our inflatables and walked into the warm water. The waves were big and we float with them deeper and deeper. I admired the beautyfull water. We were far away from all the people, and we could only hear the sound of the water. The waves meet our body with a warm feeling, and the sight of the sea was indescribable. I've been on the beach many times over the week and I couldn't stop admiring the place every time. It was too beautyfull not to admire. My sister and I hold tight on each other so we wouldn't ran away. Suddenly I heard a splash and something pushed me of my inflatable. I lost the grip on my sister, and at first she thought that I was joking. I discovered that I couldn't reach the bottom and when I got my head under the water, I saw a big dark shadow swimming some meters away. I was out of control and I didn't know what to think. I got my head out of the water and yelled to my sister, that was now about three meters away from me. I tried to swim over to her. “Stay were you are,” she yelled. She is older than me and she's very sensible, so I trusted her. I didn't know what to think. I got my head under the water again, and the shadow wasn't gone. I refused to believe what it was. Suddenly, I thought all the great and beautyfull about this beach had disappeared. I tried to calm my self down, “it could be a dolphin, it could be”... The shadow interrupted my thoughts. It had come closer. I couldn't see exactly what it was, but I knew it. It was a shark. Now I really feared for my life. And my sisters life. I got my head up again, and I couldn't see my sister. I tried to call her, but nothing came out of my mouth. Suddenly, I felt something hard on my leg. I squirmed in the hope of hidden the shark, even that I knew, it would only make the situation worse. The only thing I thought about was surviving and getting away. Suddenly, I felt something grab my arm and the next I remember was laying in a boat with my sister and two saviors. They saved us and I am so thankful for them. Today I still don't fell save about swimming at the beach. When I see a shark in television it always brings me back to last summer. Now I appreciate all the little values in the life, because life is very fragile.
