Scariest Memory

When I was younger my Dad, Sister and I would always go bike riding on different trails and it was something I really enjoyed. We would go down all different types of trails, dirt trails, concrete, or ones on grass. There was a usual spot we would always go to and it was my favorite. It was a concrete road surrounded by trees on both sides. There was also a bridge that overlooked one of the roads in the area. So, it was a Saturday morning and we all decided that we wanted to go biking at our favorite trail. Just to get an image of the time period my sister was 8 and I was 6. We arrived at the bike trail and it was a very windy day, with a light sprinkle of rain. We were riding just like any other ordinary day of riding bikes, looking out at the beautiful trees covering both sides of the trial. My dad was leading the way, followed by my sister then me. As I was riding, I started to hear a cracking noise, then out of nowhere a huge oak tree was coming down right on the trail. I looked up at the tree coming down right at me and instantly froze. Then I moved just enough as the tree was coming down and it missed me by a few feet. I just stood there in shock looking at the tree that could’ve smashed me. My dad and sister didn’t even see the tree until it was almost to the ground, and they started yelling at me to move out of the way. In the end I was ok, and learned that you have to stay aware of your surroundings at all times because you never know when a life threatening situation will come your way.
