Nice little story, Shoni. I’m not sure I could be as brave as Estelle but I really enjoyed the moments with the shark. You you also had a nice build up in the story to the moment.

Thanks Nick, it was inspired by those videos you see online of people playing with sharks. When thinking about the future of nature, I was considering how we could encourage growth but also stay part of that wildness.

Shoni! Wow! What a powerful story. (And replete with ‘surface’ tension. I love how that evaporates below the surface.)

Thank you! With no comments, I was starting to feel like it had sunk without hitting home. Glad you made it to the end!

Some people are comment shy. It doesn’t mean the writing didn’t touch them. They are just at a loss for words to describe how your writing made them feel.

I also believe coexistence and not domination is the future's true and only hope. Beautiful story
