Crimson Tide
As he paddled out on the ocean waves
He could barely hear the clamor
Of those shouting to him from the shore
They were shouting SHARK! SHARK! SHARK!
Oblivious to the grave danger he was in
He kept going further out to sea
Then suddenly..... he saw the dorsal fin
But it was too late.... the great white bit down hard on his leg
The water turned blood red as he tried
To stay afloat, then the merciless predator returned....
It seemed to be over in a matter of seconds.....
The people on the shore gasped in horror
He had lost both legs but was still alive!
It was a miracle that he survived
He was quickly taken ashore
and rushed off for medical treatment
A surfer doing something he craved
Almost met his end on the ocean waves
