Wow, what a weekend! Brick hit the beach before the end of summer and almost became another statistic for Shark Attacks 2020!
Brick was happily floating with his towel on an inner tube that had been caught in a rip current. Brick waited until his flotation device got free and then just let the tide bring him back to shore. He was just within sight of the beach umbrellas when there was a sudden eruption of water, screams of people, frantic splashing, upended boogie boards, lost floaties, and--pure panic!
A shark was doing its own Up Periscope imitation and nearly got brick! Who might have not been its true target as a very small, yappy comfort dog and her owner were nearby in a swan floaty.

The shark rose up so fast its wake shoved brick (and the swan and its terrified riders) onto the beach. Brick got salt water in his eye and lost his inner tube, but not his towel—and at the end of the day that’s what is important.
And not getting swallowed by a shark. That too.
