Long Rope Skipping by Ellie

It's my turn 1,2,3 Go!
I run, I jump, I'm skipping
Jump
Jump
Jump
The rope whips the floor
Lash!
Lash!
Lash!
'Twenty one'
'Twenty two'
My friends count my jumps
I feel as though I'm in a silver bubble
Jumping
The world beyond me is just confusing blur
The voices of my friends
The rope whipping the floor, whistling as it turns
The noises fade away from my new world
All I can hear is my heart pounding in my chest
My hair sticks to my clammy face
Then....Stop!
I get tangled in the rope and hit the floor hard
I get up, get a drink,
Brush myself off
I did 74 jumps
Not the highest.
'I'm going to cool down', I shout.
