This seventy-five-word story, Kahuna, has the proper word count and captures the moment that Pam is reminded that there are sharks in the ocean. Mary already knows.

Excellent entry for the 75 Word Story writing prompt contest. It's pretty scary.

Good flash fiction about a mom get eaten by a shark....how scary.

It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear picture...

Good luck in the contest.

Mary should never have went swimming that day.

A couple of observations:

Last sentence: "dorsel" should be "dorsal"
2nd Para, 1st sentence: "awhile" should be "a while"

Frightening, but all too possible, tale.

A very sad story but true to life. We have sharks off our coastline, and this sort of thing happens from time to time, although people generally realise very quickly because of screams and blood. Best wishes for your etry.

An idyllic visit to the beach to build sandcastles turns into a terror tale of a young mother being taken by a shark. Sharks terrify me, so your story is horrifying.
Maybe it could be classified as horror-thriller.

Interesting short story but advise why titled Kahuna which is an island medicine man. Might be a little too late. You may have the why we're not privy to yet.

It is very clear here what happened to Mary, she was lunch for a shark. Excellent story told in only 75 words. You create a clear picture of the beach and a feeling of terror comes forth at the end.

You've done a fantastic job crafting a story in seventy-five words. The story begins by setting the scene, and building suspense from there. It leads to an end that is sad, but completes the story. Best wishes in the contest.

A great flash fiction, of course, in Australia that is too common, but this is a very good entry in this contest my friend, beautifully written a great ending in this post gives it an edge, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
