Julie started jumping up and down. For months, she asked Joe to take her to the fair, squealed when she saw her two favorite rides, the Ferris wheel and the Kamikaze. “Oh gosh, Joe, look! They have the Kamikaze!”
“The Kamikaze is exactly what it says; ride on that you’ll probably crash! The safety inspectors get paid to overlook things in these cheap fairs. It’s too dangerous.”
After the Ferris wheel, Julie insistently pulled at Joe’s arm. Finally they strapped themselves in and after two wild jerky rounds, Julie threw up in Joe’s lap where she was hiding.
“See? Kamikaze!”

Yuck to the ending, but it also was very good and fit. I am glad it did not end with a tragedy – and that is another thing that stood out to me here – the part about ” in these cheap fairs” because I do wonder about the safety of the smaller venues
