This reminds me of the movie JAWS!
I didn't go past my knees in the ocean for the entire summer after seeing that!
Flashes are fun challenges, don't you agree?

Well, you had my interest from the start. Then as it got hotter the noise you spoke of became clearer as you in the last few lines mention the shark's teeth crushed the surfboard and drove the people running away from the sea. Yep, you told a complete story in 50 words. Well done. I thought it couldn't be done but you did it. Congratulations.

Comment from Michele Harber
Nicely done. You've managed to tell a complete story of a shark attack, and its effect on the other people on the beach, in only 50 words. Even more amazing is that you managed to incorporate three senses--sight, sound and touch (sort of, in "hot... hot... hot")--in such a short piece. Good job!

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a good story in only 50 words. The reader knows who, what, when, where, and why they are all running away from the water. This is a very complete story in so few words.

As someone who was left traumatized by the movie "Jaws" , this took me back to the first time I watched it. Nice job creating a story in 50 words for the writing prompt. good luck in the contest.

You did a very good job explaining a story in 50 words. It is not easy to do this. The story was interesting and written well.
The picture was matched with the words. .Great job.

How did this do? Mine ran out of steam. Still, this was a fun contest and very challenging.
Sharks eating surfers is always entertaining. Ha!

Your story reminds me of the movie "Jaws". You do tell a sea tale in few words. Seeing people run from the ocean is probably an indicator that a predator is in the water.

Crunch! You might consider an apostrophe in sharks... a possessive shark's or sharks', depending on their number. This story works, though. It sets the situation, provokes a question, then - wham! (or crunch).
