Dead Sharks





Sharks are amazing creatures. It's sad we're afraid of them, but then again, if we weren't afraid of them, they wouldn't be such fascinating creatures.


Great White Sharks are big, really big. Their mouths are full of teeth. Sharks are requins in French. Which Melville connects to requiem. Resters: those big mouths not just violence and pain but some kind of abyss we can't help but look down into. Fishermen are the types that crawl up to the abyss on all fours and flat on their stomachs, perfectly safe in their fear.



Sharks are everywhere. Swimmers and surfers know this; some scientists, too.



This is a good thing.
