A BYB CO. PROUDLY PRESENTS,

IN ASSOCIATION WITH WATTPAD,

INSPIRED BY PETER BENCHLY'S TERRIFYING NOVEL (JAWS (1975),


A small fish blue fish in the warm water of Jennison swimming not far from the shore. Cruising along the bottom of the ocean. Suddenly before the small fish new it, he had been swollen alive by a tiger shark of mass size.

The tiger shark swum back into the deep. Looking for more fish to enter, the sharks usually come around this time of year. The amount of Brown Trout is above the fish scale, and the turtles come to lay the eggs. Sharks love Jennison, it is a warm water fish paradise. 

Today was a fair, it had no events on but still a bright sunny day. At night the people of Jennison celebrated the towns money earnings from all of the fisherman renting to fish in these waters. A sum up of thirty million dollars. Usually a fishing crew pays around half a million to fish in Jennison. They would earn usually more than that, maybe even triple the amount. The town of Jennison even got some people buying houses here for the next year the warm water fish would be back.

The following morning...

"Hey Lennon, beautiful morning isn't it?" Asked Redge. "Not at all two weeks of smelling fish guts in the air." Replied Lennon. "Well as the COE of the Jennison Fish Hunters association I make a fortune, I can just buy heaps of air fresheners." Replied Redge. "Do they make ones for asses? because you stink like one." Replied Lennon. Redge's smile disappeared. "At least I don't live with my finger up my ass, Lennon." Said Redge walking into the Fish Hunters building, "Are you accusing me of me having my finger my ass?!" Questioned Lennon getting ignore, so he just decided to head back to his house in the slums.  

"Hey honey." Smiled Lennon. "Hey hone. Corey said he saw you with Redge, how bad this time?" Asked Eliza. "Miss Feltwizch, always the same. He is as uptight as the mayor. What is his name again?" Asked Lennon. "David Rosko?" Giggled Eliza. "I'm go take a nap. Where is Corey anyway?" Asked Lennon. "Its summer. He's out swimming of course." Laughed Eliza. "He knows we have a pool right?" Asked Lennon. "No waves but." Replied Eliza. "Whatever, i'm gonna go take a nap." Said Lennon entering the living room. "Oh thats right arghh, Lennon!" Yelled Eliza. "Yes what is it." Replied Lennon turning to his wife. "Speak of the devil, Mayor Rosko wishes to. have a word with you." Said Eliza. "What for?" Asked Lennon. "I don't know but he said 11:05." Said Eliza. Lennon looked at his watch. "Looks like I'm skipping a nap, 11:05 is in five minutes." Moaned Lennon sad he couldn't catch a nap.

Five minutes later...

Mayor Rosko checked his watch. Lennon rushed over. "I don't have much time to speak Lennon so let's just jump to the point on why you are here." Said Mayor Rosko. "I'm listening." Replied Lennon. "You know that nerd you're friends with, the one who claims to be the scientist." Questioned Mayor Rosko. "What about him?" Asked Lennon. "You see Lennon, the fisherman are wanting refunds. I've already spent the deposit in  town. I don't know what's happened, that scientist guy warned me that the food chain in Jennison is unbalanced. But I didn't think he meant the fishing industry is unbalanced." Spoke up Mayor Rosko. "Ask him what it is. Tell him i'll pay him if he can deal with it. The fisherman won't move a thumb for me." Scaredy said Mayor Rosko. "I will do it. But I want money too." Replied Lennon. "Instead of money. What about a house, out of the slums." Replied Mayor Rosko. "Done." Smiled Lennon. "Goodbye Lennon." Walked off Mayor Rosko. Lennon ran up the hill to the scientist house. Lennon knocked on the door of the house.

"Glen! You home. Glen! Ruth boy!" Yelled out Lennon. "What it is Lennon. I am quite busy!" Yelled out Glen. "A message from the mayor, a message!" Yelled Lennon. "What does the crook want. Another million dollars up his ass?!" Questioned Glen opening the house door. "There is a problem with the fish industry. He thinks you know what it is, and he thinks you can solve it." Said Lennon. "I can solve anything. Literally anything but how this world works, don't think I'll ever get that smart. It's the sharks of course. Human's keep fishing, there food is leaving so they follow more fish so they can keep eating. When the fish are gone, they are bound to eat anything else in the water." Replied Glen. "Tell that cock head of mayor, I can fix this problem. But not without pay." Angrily shut the door Glen on Lennon. Lennon was confused so he walked down the hill, seeing his son Corey. "Dad!" Yelled Corey who was on the other side of the road. Corey looked both ways and crossed. "Hey Corey. Where you of too?" Asked Lennon. "Me and some of the mates are going to catch some waves." Replied Corey. "But you don't have a surf board?" Questioned Lennon. "Lenox says I can borrow his body board. He doesn't use it anyway." Replied Corey. "Go in the shark nets then." Smiled Lennon because Corey doesn't usually go outside much.
