Bright River

I was walking with A towards a small grassy hill and saw nerdy B trying out his new bouncy invention, not the next fitness equipment anyway. It looked like a big top covered with soft flowers springing up and down as he go. A wanted to try it out and boarded the thing. Seems like it wasn't made for two persons and they both landed on the river, including me!
A's sister was already in the water prior to our mishap. At first I was hesitant to swim around. Countless use of "artificial" water in pool does that to you. This river on the other hand if very much alive it scares me. However as I float to the other end, I felt one with the stream.
I was partly trying to impress A and splashed towards the shallow part until I came across a structure forming a slide. The whole area must have been a natural water park. I climbed the stairs and went inside a big tunnel. The floor resembles waves giving the slider a gentle bump. It started getting dimmer, the water murkier, it must have been ages since someone used the tube.
I saw a man, with bared torso and board shorts, walking ahead of me and foolishly followed him. I lost sight of him and saw the way being blocked. I ran back, scared and trying hard to calm myself. I slipped and slided gaining speed, afraid I'll crash on the wall. With not enough water, I lost momentum and stopped. I sensed someone in front of me and saw him.
It's just the guard on duty doing his rounds.
Whew!
