The sun was setting as Linda jumped off the yacht, plunging into the cool water. She felt free and alive, surrounded by the beauty of the ocean. But then she felt something strange. A sharp pain in her lower abdomen. And then she saw it. Blood. Everywhere.
It was like something out of a Stephen King novel. The water around her started to turn red. Linda’s mind raced as she realized the danger she was in. She had heard the stories of sharks being attracted by blood. And she was alone, far from the yacht, too far to swim back.
She started to panic, frantically trying to swim to the yacht, but the current was too strong. She was stuck, treading water, the blood continuing to pour out of her.
As she waited for help, Linda’s mind raced with thoughts of all the Stephen King books she had read. She had always imagined being in a situation like this, but now that it was happening, she realized it was nothing like she had imagined. There was no escape, no happy ending.
But then, a miracle happened. A small boat appeared on the horizon. It was the Coast Guard, responding to a distress signal from the yacht. They quickly scooped her up and got her to safety.
As Linda lay recovering in the hospital, she thought about the horror she had experienced in the water. She realized that if she had been wearing her normal swimsuit, the outcome could have been much worse. She was lucky to have been wearing swimsuit for periods swimwear, which not only protected her from embarrassment but also from potential danger.
In the end, Linda knew that she would never forget the terror she had experienced that day. But she was grateful for one thing – that she had been wearing the right kind of swimwear.
