A Shiver of Sharks. TT2022.

Yeah, move along I thought, as four dudes ahead of me walked into the underwater office.

"I thought you said students, not aging hippies", smirked the security chief.

"We're post-grad students, and you, did the American Dream just leave you behind 'Ricky'"?

"Wow, wow, wow people!", lets all just try and get along here.

Professor Nemo appeared from a rising platform, and continued:

"Now you get the bullshark, nasty bite, and he can go up river too.
Then you get the tiger shark, well that name is quite appropriate.
Then you get the great white, got jaws that can swallow a seal.
And then you got the Megalodon shark, it ate whales.

Now this man's daughter went into the prehistoric sea while playing with a time machine!

Will we go and save her?"

Er, nope, we've got other things to do.
Really kinda busy right now.
I hope she's gonna be OK.

The end?

My story perhaps, but I believe no narrative simply has an end.

Thank you for your short story submission.


Good luck in the Contest,
Johnny

I found it wry and humorous.
