Shark Attack

A father whose daughter was bumped by a great white shark leapt into the water as the shark was about to bite the girl's leg and started whaling on the shark pounding its nose with his bare fists startling the shark so that it backed off but this did not satisfy the father oh no something inside him snapped and he kept on punching the shark even as it retreated and the dad shouted to his wife get her back in the boat and kept coming at the shark pounding its sides until the shark felt an emotion it had not felt since it was a pup lingering near the shell-littered seafloor fearful of the shadows above and down it dove back to that place it barely remembered but there was the dad sticking to the shark like a remora arms still swinging pounding cracking the shark's toothy skin and breaking it sending up little puffs of blood that caught the attention of other sharks in the area who watched as one of their kind was beaten to a pulp by this gangly creature which had probably mistaken the shark for a surfboard something known to happen in the summer months.
