Monkey Bars: A Short Story

I stood there with my hands on the monkey bars. I tried to move my hand to the next one, but couldn't find the strength to do it. "Hurry up Lyndsey! We want a turn too!" I looked behind me to see many kids waiting in a line. "I can't go any further!" Rebecca rolled her eyes at me. It started to make me feel bad inside, but I knew I couldn't keep going. "Just drop!" I looked down at the ground, and tears filled my eyes. It was too far down to drop. I would hurt myself trying. "It's too far. I can't do it." A tear ran down my face. "Whimp! whimp! whimp," all of the kids started to yell. "Please stop!" I closed my eyes for a minute. I'm not a whimp! My fingers started to slip, and I squeezed my eyes tighter. I fell from the monkey bars and hit
"What's your name?" The boy and office lady looked up at one another. "I'm Mrs. Tators." I looked at her with a baffled look. The nurse started to feel my leg, which made the pain even worse. I looked down and squeezed my eyes shut. "And what's your name?" I continued looking down for a moment, until I heard a reply. "Well I'm Mrs. Tots." I shot my head up and smiled. Mrs. Tators and Mrs. Tots? The boy started to laugh a little, trying to cover it up. I looked at him with a smile on my face. "And your name is?" I pointed at him to make sure there was no mistake this time. "My name is Mason." Finally an answer! "Thank you Mason for all your help." He smiled at me then left the room. The nurse walked across the room to get some things from the cabinet. I looked down at my leg, and was amazed by the outcome. Cuts and bruises had formed after minutes of falling. My entire leg had swollen up like a balloon. It was obvious why it hurt. "Alright Lyndsey, I am going to clean your cuts alright?" I nodded and held on to the edge of the table tightly. She gently dabbed my cuts with rubbing alcohol. The pain increased and I tried not to move. I bit my lip hoping the pain would go away
