I look to my right,

blue.

I look to my left,

blue.

I look up,

blue.

“ Oh no” I think.

I’ve lost the reef,

Which is one of a fishes,

worst fears.

I try to calm myself down,

When something gray floats by,

my stomach somersaults,

I don’t even bother to try and calm myself down,

I look behind me and see it,

A SHARK

At this point I know death is near.

I stared into the sharks black,

Beady eyes,

Waiting for death to come,

but the shark’s attention,

turned to something else

I follow his gaze,

and see a piece of meat bobbing up and down,

by instinct alone,

I dashed at the meat,

But the shark knocked me over,

And attacked the meat.

But as soon as he pulled,

The shark got yanked up out of the water,

I look to my right.,

blue

I look to my left,

blue.

Dear, Teen Ink

I wrote this piece because me and my family just recenly went on a vaction in Florida, and got the chance to go on a charter boat. I caught a lot of different fish, but my most memeral one was, obvously, a Barracuda. I lived on a farm in Salem for twelve years of my life and am now currenly living in Rolla Mo, I enjoy fishing, but not as much as I enjoy playing soccer. Thankyou for considering my piece.

 

Sincerely,

Colin Cahill
