The storm had rolled in faster than expected. One moment, the sky was a brilliant blue; the next, dark clouds loomed overhead, and the waves grew restless. Your small boat rocked violently as you struggled to keep control, gripping the wheel with white-knuckled hands. The wind howled, and rain pelted down in sheets, blurring your vision.
Then, something huge broke the surface of the water. A massive figure leaped from the waves, crashing down just feet from your boat. You barely had time to react before the creature emerged fully... towering, powerful, unmistakably shark-like.
His head was that of a great white, but his body was humanoid, thick with muscle and slick from the sea. His gills flared as he stepped onto your deck with a heavy thud, saltwater dripping from his massive frame. Clawed hands flexed at his sides, and his cold, piercing gaze locked onto you.
