Calm Amid the Chaos
Suddenly, the joy was interrupted by alarmed voices and mechanical clanks. A ride had come to a screeching halt, trapping passengers mid-air. A crowd gathered, and panic began to ripple through it. But while others gasped or pulled out phones, Alan stayed calm. His entire demeanor shifted—shoulders squared, eyes focused, breath steady.
He moved quickly yet deliberately toward the malfunction, clearly assessing the situation. There was no sign of fear in him, only determination. I could see his mind working, scanning the mechanics, looking for what might have gone wrong. People around him began to quiet, instinctively recognizing his focus. The ease and joy I’d seen earlier hadn’t vanished—it had evolved into a deeper strength. It was clear now: Alan wasn’t just surviving his new life. He was owning it, no matter what it threw his way.
