Fantasy Ten: Shark Bite

Fantasy Ten: Shark Bite

You have not been managing your diabetes. As a result, you have some pretty nasty feet and lower leg open wounds.  It is summer and although the beach is not usually for you, you know the salt water will do your wounds some good. So, you head out one fine sunny, summer day to enjoy the warmth of the sun and wading in the Atlantic.  

It was actually the perfect beach day. The beach you chose was way out on the Cape and, for some unknown reason was not too crowded that day (or at least yet), still, you walk on by beach blankets, fold out chairs, umbrellas and the spaces between them to a more remote part of the beach. You have passed all the warning signs about life guards. 

After enjoying your Subway Italian cold cut sandwich and a semi-cold (illegal to bring) brew, you cast off your white socks and slip-on flip flops and head down to the crashing waves.  You wade in above your knees - about 30 yards off shore. Even though summer, the water is freezing and soon you find your lower limbs quite  numb.  The waves knock you around a bit but you hold your own.  You notice blood in the water  and it startles you.  Slowly you realize the bumping you sensed a minute ago was not the wave and it caused some injury to your leg or foot - you aren't sure. Was it a rock? You are "bumped" again and the wave wins this time as your balance is distracted by the spreading red that panics you.  Suddenly, pain registers as you feel a puncture bite to your torso. This is a shark attack of some kind. The thrashing begins.

Eventually, other beach goers notice the distress and get you out of the water. You die later from your injuries.
