Imagine yourself going to a Nine Flags theme park. You have All the rides, and all the food. It’s kinda fun looking. As you walk through, looking at all the rides, you come up to one that looks interesting. You pay your tickets, then sit down in the seat. The ride starts, and suddenly the seat flies away from you (but you’re still in the same spot because of the harness. Then the seat flies back up and hits you in the butt. You just got on the Butt Buster ride.
Be sure to imagine yourself walking through the theme park for a bit. Looking at different things. Then, imagine the excited meant of this new, fancy ride you’ve never seen. When it starts hitting you in the Butt, feel the pain, and feel the bruising. Want it to stop. your Butt hurts so bad.
