As I lay dying on the beach: The final ruminations of a seal
Hey you there, reading the newspaper! I’m in a bit of a tight and sharp situation. I’m down here in the grips of this freaking great white shark. Why is this happening to me?

Now I’m about to become a simple statistic. This shark won’t even remember me in a day.
