Desmond stared at the water as it rippled slightly in the late afternoon sunlight. It certainly didn't look dangerous to him, though like everyone else in the small town he hadn't missed the hundreds of warnings about sharks in the water. He bit his lip and glanced at his surfboard; his knuckles were white and stiff. He shook them out, told himself to relax, and slipped past the caution tape into the water. The waves were too good to resist today, high and foamy. Besides, he thought, not yet noticing the small nibbling on his foot, why would a shark be attracted to me?

We live in VA Beach and the sharks visit the area from time to time.
Nice tension in this 6.
Nice job Penny and it's a good idea to get an early start on writing that best selling novel. I surf at New Smyrna Beach in Florida. It is one of the sharkiest places to surf but it also happens to have the best break around here when the waves are small.
Because stupid tastes good! Nice 6!
