The ice on the rink was as rough as a turtle’s shell. I was playing a hockey game and was fighting for the puck. Suddenly, a forward on my opponent’s team, who was about a foot taller than me, started skating fast towards the boards to get the puck. I tried to curl away so I wouldn’t get hurt, but before I could he checked me.

In a flash, my body was fired at the boards, just like a cannon ball getting shot out of a cannon. I could feel the excruciating pain flowing through my body. My legs were lapped over each other. I tried to comfort my arm because it was throbbing with pain.
Passing out was not an option, so using all the might and force I could gather I stumbled to my feet. I was dazed and confused. I felt like I had just been on a roller coaster, and my legs wobbled as I tried to stand.
