A mishap model composition example
I am lucky to escape by the skin of my teeth. These were the thoughts that lingered in my mind after the mishap I experienced. A few hours earlier, I was as excited as any other schoolboy to enjoy my school holidays riding around the neighbourhood. My father bought me a brand new BMX bicycle since I passed my examinations with flying colours. I was as proud as a peacock, as it cost an arm and leg. I could not wait to show it off to my neighbours. The BMX bike was a stunning space grey colour. It gleamed under the sun's light. I am quite a careful person. I wore my knee guards and a helmet. I set off to ride along the familiar paths of my neighbourhood. I was expecting a wonderful day, but little did I know something terrible was about to happen.
“John! What a cool bike!” My neighbours cooed as I whizzed past them. Everything was perfect. The wind was in my hair, and I felt like I was flying. My heart burst with pride, and I could not wait to show it off to more people. I was slowly reaching a traffic junction. However, what happened next was nerve-wracking. As I tried to hit the brakes, I realised it was not working! “What in the world?” I muttered to myself in absolute shock. “How could that be?” I continued. Cars were zooming past like sharks. The traffic light blared red! My bike was not stopping! My face turned as pale as a sheet, and my hands turned clammy. “Oh no!” What am I going to do?” I cried.
Frantically, I kept stomping on the brakes, but to no avail. I clenched my eyes shut, expecting the worst to happen. My heart palpitated wildly in my chest. My knees were jelly. Just then, the worst happened. A crimson red car hit the side of my bike, and I was sent flying into the air. Momentarily, my heart stopped, as I expected it not to survive. Within seconds, I came crashing onto the ground. Luckily, I fell on the pedestrian path away from the zooming cars! A swarm of bystanders gathered around me like vultures. “Are you okay?” many gasped. My leg was bleeding profusely. I scraped both my knees.. But I did not break a bone!
I sat there in a daze while the friendly bystanders helped me. They brought me to a nearby clinic. Lucky for me, I did not sustain serious injuries. My bike was faulty. It was just an unlucky incident that caused the mishap. However, I learned to still be extra careful by checking the brakes before taking any bike for a ride! After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.
