Treasure Island

            
             The sun is beginning to set upon the water. The soft waves are rolling in at my feet. Somewhere in the distance I hear the cry of a seagull. This is my favorite part of the day. I love taking evening strolls along my very own private beach. Nothing compares to the soft southern wind blowing your hair aimlessly around your face. My eyes search the sand underfoot partially for some treasure from the ocean and partially for the jellyfish that are common this time of year. .
             I"m completely amazed when I think of all that is present in the vast open water in front of me. What treasure will the ocean bring me today? Will it be shells? Perhaps a bottle with a romantic message inside? Yesterday's treasure was a shiny fishing tackle that I added to my collection. .
             Maybe I"ll walk out to the rocks on the point, lots of foreign articles get trapped in the clenches there. I carefully make my way out onto the jagged pieces and try to find a place where I can sit. The things I've seen from this point would amaze you. From boating lovers catching a nude swim to some of natures" most beautiful sea creatures. Maybe I"ll finally get to see a pirate ship today. .
             As I find the perfect spot for viewing, I notice the waves picking up farther out on the water. The white caps are cresting and rolling in a little rougher then before. Out of nowhere a fin slices through one of the waves. Is it a dolphin or perhaps something fiercer? I scan the water again searching for any sign of the fin. I finally spot it closer to me now, and not far behind it I see two more. Wow I rarely see one but now a whole school perhaps. They are swimming awfully close to shore maybe I can get a better view from the beach. As I race off the rocks to get a closer look I notice that they are now circling each other. Is this some type of an attack, but on what? As I reach the sand I realize these creatures of the sea are none other then great white sharks.
