Australia Influenced

We are at the beach, mr.Natey and I and a few other people we don’t know. There are quite a few people in the water, but somehow I don’t feel comfortable. Not only because it’s winter. No, something isn’t right.
All of a sudden I see shadows in the water. They are about an arm length long and quickly moving. Sharks?

I am pretty sure, but mr.Natey doesn’t think so. He wants to go into the water. I say “Please don’t go, there are sharks in there.” He’s going a step forward and I’m now whining: “Please don’t go. I promise you I’ll cook you dinner every night until the rest of your day, but please don’t go into the water!” I’m totally frightened, but mr.Natey thinks I’m overreacting, as so often.
Then I’m going a few steps back and see all those sharks lined up on the shore. They are standing on their back-fin and they organized themselves from small shark on the left to humongous and extremely large (2-story-house tall) on the right. A line of about 6 sharks, all shapes and sizes. They are kind of smiling at me and the other people at the beach.
Nathan, oh why, is going towards the shore and is lining up next to the largest shark with his back to the ocean. He’s like “Look at me, I’m not afraid, I can even stand next to the biggest sharks and it’s all fine.”
Then, all of a sudden, the humongous shark smirks and swings his left fin, which is about the size of an American-sized van, and hits and pushes (or rather smashes) mr.Natey way far away into the deep and dark ocean. No one would survive that hit. Not even a mr.Natey “hero”.
Why do men never listen to their missy?

My name is Anja and since I was given the nickname Cola I started writing my lil' blog under that name in 2005. I am like a rolling stone, wandering through the world from one place to another, curious to meet people and enjoying living and working in different cultures. Born and grown up in Germany, I discovered my travel-bug in my late twenties and moved to down under Australia in 2004, to Santa Fe New Mexico USA in 2006 and again to Australia in 2008 until the winds blew me to Maine in the United States of America, where I've been living since 2011. This blog started out as a communication platform for my "love far far away", but turned into a diary of my and then our adventures for family and friends to follow..I write in
