Shark weak

dorsal fins

Circling the shallows, a shiver of hungry females stalk their prey, tasting the waters for fresh meat. More intimidating and powerful than their male counterparts, their blood lust is a powerful urge.

They single out a potential victim from the rest, surrounding him, cutting him off from any escape routes. Once a man-eater latches on, there is no release until she devours her quarry.

“Bitch, don’t kill my vibe with your weak pick-up lines.” Their alpha leader approaches her selection. “Don’t speak, just let me look at you.”

Sharks got nothing on a Girls’ Night Out feeding frenzy.

  1. Made me laugh. I would accompany girlfriends on these nights, but I was always the first one to go home – alone. Not the same story for my friends. That was a long time ago. Must be more aggressive now. Good one, Tara.

    1. My GNO now consist of going to very sedate wine tastings or out for sushi. This piece was based on a lot of Twitter and Facebook status updates I’ve read lately. I’m way too old and boring to swim with the sharks today.
