PART 1

Once upon a time, there was a boy living in Sydney. His name was Jack John Jackson and he has lived in this city for almost a year by now. His dad was a truck driver and his mum was at work all the time. In his free time, he was often bored because he has not found any friends yet and his parents were not at home.

One day, Jack John Jackson went to the beach as he decided that he wanted to learn how to surf. He tried it but it turned out that surfing was not as easy as it seemed to be.

After about thirty minutes of trying hard to stand on the board, Jack was very close to giving up when another boy came to the beach and taught him how to do it correctly. Suddenly, Jack succeeded standing a small wave on the board, then another small wave, and another one. What a great day!

As the two boys decided that they should stop training for today, Jack invited his new friend Bods on a drink at the near surf bar. As it turned out, the two boys had a lot of things in common and got friends as they met to go surfing on the beach for the next days. Days of friendship turned into weeks and Jack was very happy.

One day in autumn, the waves were very high and Jack did not want to go surfing because it was really dangerous to be out on the sea. But Bods did not care about that and went surfing anyway. Jack waited for him to come back for a very long time, but Bods did not come back. In the evening, Jack went to look after him at the beach again. When he arrived there, he saw something he did not expect.

PART 2

He decided to get closer and to see what was happening.

Since it was dark, he turned the phone light on and he kept walking.

Suddenly he heard noises and someone screaming, so he started running and accidentally he stumbled down.

When Jack got up he saw that there was a human arm without the body, he had never felt scared this way before.

Thanks to the phone light, Jack saw a particular tattoo and he realized it was the same that his friend Bods had on his right arm.

He gave a look around himself and he found a girl who was crying and looking for help. He came close to the girl, whose name was Bethany.

Looking down he was sure that he was his friend Bods and immediately called the ambulance.

While they were waiting for help, the two started to talk about what had happened and Jack asked Bethany how she had found the body.

She said: “I was walking down the beach when I saw something strange in the water. I didn’t mind about it because I didn’t realize what it really was, so I kept walking. After a few minutes the waves brought it on the beach and I discovered that it was a human body.”

PART 3

Indeed it was a human body, but without arms and legs. Only the head was still there. And in the eyes of the dead head, which were still open you could see the most common human sense, fear.

And when Bethany saw the lifeless body of Bods, she started screaming in fear. And then she saw the fin of a shark in the water, the fin was going back down in the dark blue waters of Sydney.

Bethany, really frightened started screaming for help, but nobody came and then she started crying, but suddenly one boy came, this was Jack, searching for his friend Bods.

Bethany told Jack, that she saw a sharks fin. And then Jack with goose bumps all over his body started to think, that maybe not the waves killed Bods, but a shark, which was swimming in the waters of the city beach all this time…

After 5 minutes the ambulance and the police came. Jack and Bethany told the police everything, about the surfing, the big waves, the sharks fin. And the police told them, while laughing, that there were no sharks here for years. But the kids were sure, that there was something in the waters of the city beach, which was going to kill a lot more people, if nobody stops it. So they decided that they are going to find the shark and start their own investigation.

PART 4

After this weird and confusing night, Bethany and Jack John searched, watched and waited for answers at this beach. Nothing ever came up again at the beach no shark fins, no more bodies. This case was leading nowhere.

As Bethany and Jack John were giving up, they had this conversation for probably the 100th time at this same surf bar, an old man came up to them and was fascinated by their story. This old man named Richard Rogers told the kids about a legend of a furious sea creature, which would come back every 10 years for a human victim. The creature was twice the size of a Great White Shark, muscles the size of humans, strong as ten bulls, covered in scales and fins that were quite similar to shark fins. It mainly would feed on fish and other sea creatures, but every 10 years during a dark, windy and rough autumn night it would come for a human snack. Richards father had been taken by this cruel monster 60 years ago and his body was never seen.

This time though the Sea Creature hadn’t been successful on catching human prey since Bods’ body was found. That meant only one thing the creature would come back even hungrier. This task to find the creature would be Bethany’s and Jack John’s last. The creature wouldn’t be seen for a long time after this.
