The Infested Waters
Chapter One: Alive But Dead
It was a dark night, my flippers splashed violently in the water. I tried to get to the surface. The beast was on my tail, well I didn’t really have a tail that was just a metaphor, anyway let's cut to the chase. I was about to be gobbled up by the jaws of a tiger shark. I knew this was my end because I could see the the light in the distance, oh no that was just the lighthouse, wait, a lighthouse that must mean their is land, yahoo! I can now get away from my terrible “friend” here. No it is not you Bob.
I finally reached land. I could feel the rough sand between my toes as I took off my flippers. I was sweating so hard trying to get away from the shark, well of course it was hard to tell because I just came out of the water. I lay down to catch my breath, I was in so much pain, my muscles were aching It was so cold. The ground started to shake beneath me. The tide started going out faster than a cheater could run I knew what this meant. I. had. to. Run.
