“Shark!” I yelled as my feet hit the wet sand. “There’s a shark out there! Everyone get out of the water!”Man, you want to see humans move fast? Scream that on a crowded beach and watch what happens. Its amazing the fear people have for a scaly, sharp toothed predator. I watched the water empty in seconds, parents scooping up their children and heading to shore, desperate to get out of the ocean, and found it a little ironic. They were so terrified of the big, nasty monster out in the water, when there was a bigger, nastier, deadlier one right here on the beach.”

Blanche folded it into her hand and held tightly to the only thing her parents had left her.”
