Oh crap, oh, crap, oh, crap ....

One of my worst fears has come true : I'm stuck here on a ferris wheel, and if there is one thing I absolutely hate, it's heights ....

I don't know what's going on, but I wish the thing would start moving so I can get off of here ....

And as I look about me (straight ahead only; don't look down, don't look down, don't look down if you know what's good for you ... ), I see the lights have gone out.  Not a light to be seen ... oh, great: the power must have gone out .... LOVELY.  NOT!!

Now the ferris wheel guy is standing at the bottom of the ride, shouting through a bullhorn.  I can hear some of what he's saying but most of it I can't understand; it sounds like he's muttering.  What in the hell is he SAYING???  Did he just mention a power failure??

Things just can't get any worse ....

Or can they??

Now I see police chasing after someone.  Hm.  Wonder what the person has done to warrent such a chase from the cops .... he must have done something pretty big or else he wouldn't be running as fast as fast can be .... now the guy is climbing the ferris wheel; I can feel the thing vibrating and hear shouts from below.  Suddenly I hear gunshots ....

Oh, shit!!  The person has a gun!!  I guess that means those of us who are here on this ride are suddenly in terrible danger .... now what is gonna happen??

I'm suddenly too afraid to find out .....
